Ashampoo WinOptimizer v6.60

Keeping your PC running like a champ requires a bit of maintenance now and again. For your money, you could do
much worse than Ashampoo WinOptimizer, a clean, fast, and professional-looking application with a robust tool set.
The fastest route to optimization is from the One-Click Optimization feature, accessible from your desktop or from
a tab on the program interface. The second fastest lets you run a quick or a full scan from the Overview tab.
Either option starts diagnosing your system using common, customizable settings. For spot-checking or to oversee
your own changes, you can click the Modules tab within the application and hand pick among the 21 included tools
grouped smartly into six categories.
In addition to a laundry list of system tweaks you can manually or automatically configure, WinOptimizer backs up
your registry so you can undo critical mistakes. New to version 6, it also stores a list of most-often used tools
alongside some decent stats on your use of each module. Best of all, each tool in our tests ran quickly, smoothly
and effectively without disrupting overall performance. Novices will appreciate the ease of use while pro users
will find plenty of ways to get their hands dirty.
The WinOptimizer Toolbox
AntiSpy Module New!
A growing number of Windows services and application programs like to “phone home” and inform Microsoft or their
manufacturers about a variety of things, ranging from crash reports to user behavior. Many users don’t like this
and at least want to be able to choose whether these programs should do this or not. The new AntiSpy module
provides settings that let you control the “spying” behavior of both Windows and these programs. Configuration
options are included for a number of Windows system settings, Windows Media Player, the Windows error reporting
service and others.
Context Menu Manager New!
Configure and control your right-click context menus in Windows. See New Features below for full details.
Hard Disk Defragmenter New Version!
Keeps your hard disks at maximum efficiency all the time. Now better than ever with top Vista performance. See New
Features below for full details.
One-Click Optimizer Improved
This is the most popular function in WinOptimizer, literally enabling you to clean up and tune up your entire
Windows system with a single click, using the optimum settings to eliminate garbage data and Registry entries and
defragment your hard drive. Now more efficient and faster than ever.
Drive Cleaner Improved
As time goes on Windows collects an amazing number of useless, garbage files that just clog up your system. Drive
Cleaner reliably and safely identifies and deletes these files, freeing up space and removing dead weight. The new
version has a significantly improved scan algorithm for even faster performance, and better cleaning results.
Registry Optimizer Improved
The central Windows Registry database contains all the configuration and performance settings for Windows and most
of your application programs. Like the hard drive it too gets clogged up with garbage data as time goes on.
Registry Optimizer finds and eliminates old, redundant and broken Registry entries that can slow down your computer
and cause unnecessary errors. The new version is faster, delivers better performance and is even safer than before.
Internet Cleaner Improved
This tool finds and deletes all traces of your Internet surfing sessions to protect your privacy and increase your
security. It also deletes the temporary Internet files that take up megabytes of space on your hard drives.
The new version supports the latest generation of web browsers, including browser derivates based on leading
browser engines.
Windows Tweaking Tools Improved
This amazingly useful module gives you direct access to hundreds of Windows and application configuration and
performance settings, enabling you to fine-tune your system to make it behave exactly as you want. All the settings
are explained and backups are made automatically so that you can return to the original settings at any time. Many
settings are difficult or impossible to access in other ways. The new version adds many new options, including
“secret” Windows settings and tweaks.
System Benchmark Improved
Check out the performance of your Windows computer and compare it with other users’ systems. The new version has
direct access to an online database of all users who have submitted their benchmarking results so that you can see
how your system stacks up.
StartUp Tuner
Lists all processes and programs started automatically with Windows and enables you to enable or disable them
temporarily or permanently. Also includes Internet Explorer plugins, which you can both view and delete if you want.
Eliminates the annoyance of unnecessary programs that just waste your time, slow down your computer and interfere
with important applications. Also clearly identifies the essential programs that shouldn’t be disabled.
Process Manager
Lists all programs and processes running on your system and enables you to terminate them forcibly if necessary.
Makes it easy to get rid of frozen windows caused by crashed applications and can help to identify malicious
programs. Provides detailed explanations on the processes listed and clearly identifies essential system processes
that should never be terminated.
File Undeleter
Eliminates the horror of accidentally deleted files. Works on all Windows file systems (NTFS, FAT-16, FAT-32) and
even on compressed and encrypted NTFS files and deleted files on USB thumb drives. Displays the health status of
located deleted files and shows the chances of full or partial recovery. Even if you only need it once you’ll be
grateful forever.
File Wiper
Enables you to sell old computers and drives or provide access to your existing ones with confidence that nobody
can access your data. If your hard drives and other media have ever contained sensitive information you want to
make absolutely sure that it’s really gone before it gets into the wrong hands. File Wiper uses military standard
deletion algorithms to completely eliminate all traces of the original data so that even hackers and data recovery
labs can’t restore it.
File Splitter & Joiner
Enables you to break up large files into more manageable “chunks” that are easier to save to disks or send by
email. The joiner function then puts the chunks together again to restore the original files.
Real- time Backup
WinOptimzer’s integrated Real-Time Backup system monitors everything you change on your computer with the program
and creates automatic recovery backups. This makes it possible to return to your original settings at any time.
DiskSpace Explorer and System Information
DiskSpace Explorer provides detailed information on the contents of all the drives in your computer by folders and
file type, enabling you to identify files that are taking up space. System Information does the same for your
hardware, giving you a full list of all your computer components, system software and drivers. You can also
generate reports that are very helpful for support staff when you are trying to identify errors.
File Encrypter & Decrypter
Fast and safe file protection for important information, using the extremely strong Blowfish algorithm. You can
also create self-unpacking decrypted files for sending to other people – they just need to double-click on the
file and enter the password to unpack it.
Vista Sidebar Gadget
This useful tool gives you direct access to all the cleaner modules of WinOptimizer from the Vista Sidebar –
including the One-Click Optimizer. Just click in the Sidebar to access your WinOptimizer tools fast.
Visual Styler
Change the appearance of your Windows system and give it your own unique look by replacing system and other
icons and applying transparency effects to individual windows.
