I don’t trust it, even though Symantec swears by it. Contrary to popular belief, Microsoft’s ScanDisk and Defrag (You know; those programs that MS pirated off Symantec?) work just fine on DriveSpace 3 drives, keeping them clean, especially if you schedule these programs to run regularly with System Agent. Notice though, that Plus comes with replacement versions of ScanDisk and Defrag, so that’s enough to scare me from third party disk maintenance tools… MS must’ve changed something fundamental with DriveSpace 3.
