The white lines indicate unused (free/available) disk space. Blue means no
fragmentation. Red are files that are fragmented. It would appear that too
much/many small chucks of free space remains unused. Some defragmenters
provide an option called 'Slack' which can cause this. Since you didn't
mention who's tool you are using (Microsoft's, Diskeeper, Norton, Etc.) this
is the only info I can provide, which not to insult you may already know.

so this is normal? i got a defrag deal this mourning called VXP_722 , dont
know if i should try it or not. what about a virus scan on line that i could
use , i have had mcafee for five years now but i got a feeling that i need to
run some other virus scan.

Have not heard of or tried VXP so I can't comment.
As for the AV scan, boot to Safe Mode and then run the AV scan.
