The Swiss army jackknife for your PC

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 18 goes way beyond a mere tuneup and cleaning suite. It comes with a total of 37 powerful modules. From security maintenance to privacy protection and smart system analyses, WinOptimizer is the total package for you. Need to recover accidentally deleted files, permanently wipe sensitive data or put a muzzle on Windows 10's chatty telemetry features? It's all part of the package! All modules are refined and updated every year for best compatibility and performance with present and coming Windows updates. No other system optimization software even comes close to this enormous feature set, usefulness and easy handling!

Save time and effort automatically

A total of three automatic features take the major work off your shoulders! Auto-Clean not only rids your system of junk data but reduces clutter before it takes hold. As soon as you close your browser, or other application, this fully-automatic broom sweeps everything off your drives that doesn't belong. Live Tuner provides a smart launch boost to all applications and allows for custom fine tuning to assign different priorities to individual applications, e.g. "high" for more performance. Game Booster does exactly what its name implies: It closes unnecessary background processes non-essential to gaming while your game is running and restarts them when you're done playing so you can get back to work.

Say no to unwanted browser extensions

Browsers are not only your window to the internet but threatened by malicious extensions that cause slowdowns or spy on you. You're probably familiar with toolbars but chances are you're far less familiar with the numerous extensions that may live in your browser, offering little to no use but threatening performance and your privacy. Many even manage to stay hidden from browsers' installed extensions lists! Browser Extension Manager puts a stop to this. It lists all installed extensions across your browsers and gives you the choice to delete them, if needed! It only takes a single click to rid your browsers of a malicious extension and make browsing the web a little safer!

Maximum security and privacy!

Windows still collects too much data about you and offers false compromises in terms of security. Windows 10 especially loves to phone home. Win10 Privacy Control and Antispy give you back full control over your system! You decide which passwords are stored, what telemetry data gets sent to Redmond and which photos you'd rather keep to yourself. And make sure not to go easy on unwanted geotracking, personalized ads or nosy programs either!

Fascinating insights into a hidden world with ADS Scanner

Have you heard of alternate data streams? This feature allows programs to attach hidden information to the files as they appear in Windows Explorer, e.g. to determine whether a file was downloaded or is part of the system. Unfortunately, this feature can also be abused to attach malware to your files. ADS Scanner detects and lists alternate data streams to help you locate and remove dubious entries!

An Internet connection is required to activate the program. The program license is verified repeatedly at regular intervals.
