Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Keeping your car running like a champ requires a bit of maintenance now and again. When that time arises, you want to take your beloved to a mechanic you trust. The same holds true for your computer. You'll want to use a trusted maintenance/optimization suite, one that has done you right in the past and has kept your operating system healthy.
Ashampoo WinOptimizer sports a clean, professional interface. You can go for the One-Click Optimization feature, which runs program at pre-determined settings, or run each of the 22 included tools individually. These are categorized under six groups: Clean up, Optimize, Privacy and security, Tune system settings, Diagnosis, and File tools. Within each category, specific features are listed on the right which makes for an easy two-pane navigation.
In addition to system tweaks, WinOptimizer comes with two skins and can create backups so that any changes can be undone. All of the tools, from the drive cleaner to defragger to the file splitter, ran without a hitch, smoothly and without disrupting other programs, and were effective. Novice users will appreciate the ease of use while pro users will find plenty of ways to get their hands dirty.

Version: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5.03
Pros: It's very easy to install and run.
There are enough options to configure and WinOptimizer does it's work very fast.
After a few days and using the optimization tools twice I really notice that my pc is running faster.It has to because all of the safety-tools we have to use nowadays surfing, mailing and gaming. That slows the pc down, so I am very happy I bought WinOptimizer, it does a good job for me!!

Version: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5.03
"A good program with a few performance enhancements"
Pros: The software has some great features to help you increase performance (I.E getting rid of unwanted services, enabling hidden performance tweaks). I would definetley suggest this program if you're the person trying to get the most out of your computer.
Cons: One thing that really hurts this software is the C drive cleanup. The program will suggest to delete files just because it doesn't recoznize the file type (Some video files, audio files etc...). Also, you can't preview what files it is able to clean after scan. The registry scanner doesn't repair all. I would use this software for the tune-up options only. Use some other program for cleaning history and the registry.

Version: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5.03
Pros: I have puchased MANY Ashampoo products and love them all. This company provides cost effective programmes that are as good or better than the big name programmes.
I bought Win Optimizer 3 and have upgraded as they come out. More features and simpler to use with each upgrade. Download it and let it speak for itself

Version: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5.03
"I'm simply too glad to have bought it!!!"
Pros: This software has completed my solitary search for a simple, but complete, program to keep my PC in shining conditions.
I still have lots of things to learn about it, but these first days of use have shown ease and strength of its technology.
