Fresh out of our development team: Our new cleaners!

The cleaners built into our WinOptimizer product line are fan favorites. That’s why we never stop improving them! The version is the first that supports the new Microsoft Edge Chromium. Internet Cleaner now uses a new algorithm to detect junk files more efficiently and in all browser-related save locations. It recovers precious disk space and uses our new cleaners to remove browsing traces, redundant files and registry errors! All functions are instantly accessible via the "Clean" dashboard!

All system parameters at a glance

Ashampoo® WinOptimizer provides a broad view of what is going on in your system, including your units. Once health parameters get worse, you will be instantly notified to avoid disaster. Discover bottlenecks and possible bugs, and detect possible improvements with incredible ease. Track resource hoarders, find out all about installed hardware and monitor all background processes that are running. It can't be easier! You can also easily access this area of the program through the "Inform" control panel.

The Swiss knife for your PC

Ashampoo® WinOptimizer 18 goes far beyond a simple tuning and cleaning process. It comes with a total of 37 powerful modules. From maintaining security to protecting privacy and smart system analytics, WinOptimizer is the complete package for you. Do you need to recover accidentally deleted files, permanently delete sensitive data or put a muzzle to Windows 10 telemetry functions? All of that is part of the package! All modules are reconditioned and updated every year for better compatibility and performance with current and future Windows updates. No other system optimization software comes close to this huge set of features, utility and easy handling!

Save time and effort automatically

A total of three automatic functions remove the main job from your shoulders! Self-cleaning not only frees up your junk data system, but also reduces the mess before it occurs. As soon as you close your browser, or another application, this fully automatic broom sweeps away everything that doesn't belong to your drives. Live Tuner provides an intelligent launch boost to all applications and allows custom fine tuning to assign different priorities to individual applications, for example, "high" for higher performance. Game Booster does exactly what its name indicates: Closes unnecessary background processes not essential to the game while it is running and restarts them when it finishes playing so that it can get back to work.

Continuous evolution with Windows updates

Windows is in continuous evolution, thanks to updates, and so is Ashampoo® WinOptimizer! Our development team works hard to ensure good performance before and after all Windows updates. Windows 10 received more than a dozen updates last year and we analyzed each one meticulously. Continuous program updates ensure that your WinOptimizer stays up to date with Windows, regardless of change. This includes repairing errors introduced through Windows updates, as WinOptimizer not only cleans your PC but also repairs it.

Say no to unwanted browser extensions

Browsers are not only your window to the Internet, but they are also threatened by malicious extensions that cause slowdowns or spy on you. You are likely familiar with toolbars, but you are likely to be much less familiar with the numerous extensions that can live in your browser, which offer little or no use but threaten performance and privacy. Many even manage to stay hidden from the lists of extensions installed in browsers! Browser Extension Manager puts an end to this. List all extensions installed in your browser and give you the option to remove them, if necessary. With a single click you can remove a malicious extension from your browser and make browsing a little safer.

Maximum security and privacy guaranteed!

Windows keeps collecting too much data about you and offers false compromises in terms of security. Windows 10 especially likes to call home. Win10's Privacy Control and Antispy returns you total control of your system! You decide which passwords are stored, which telemetry data are sent to Redmond and which photos you prefer to save for you. And make sure you don't facilitate unwanted geolocation, custom ads or meddling programs.

A fascinating vision of a hidden world with ADS Scanner

Have you heard about alternative data streams? This feature allows programs to attach hidden information to files as they appear in Windows Explorer, for example, to determine whether a file has been downloaded or is part of the system. Unfortunately, this feature can also be used abusively to attach malware to files. ADS Scanner detects and enumerates alternative data streams to help you locate and remove dubious entries!

Create maintenance plans in seconds and then just run and forget.

Many of our customers love One-Click-Optimizer, as well as the many other "System Maintenance" tools. They help you find browsing traces, hidden data junk, superfluous entries in the Register and system settings that need to be adjusted. Our handy task planner allows you to perform any of these functions at customized intervals and fully automatically. Keep your PC fit and healthy in the easiest way!
