    Is there a way to shut off tune up (specifically disk defrag) on a Soid State Drive, as it does more harm than good in this case?

    You cannot configure Defrag at all in OneCare Tune-up, unfortunately. You can, however, disable scanning of folders and even an entire drive using Exclusions in the Virus and Spyware setup that will be honored during tune-up.

    I don't know I'd agree that Defrag would harm a flash drive specifically, but I certainly understand the desire to exclude drives from Defrag for any number of valid reasons - including yours.
