• Had a problem on 2nd use

  howardfernsNovember 16, 2016

  Pros

  It appeared to find junk that other similar apps have missed, and it found some unneccessary startup entries.

  Cons

  The installation added two shortcuts to my desktop, one for Winoptimizer and one for One-Click something or other. Why couldn't they be accessible from one shortcut and one UI? Anyway, they seemed to do different things so I let them be. But the next time I tried to use the one-click thingy a big splash screen advertising Ashampoo Burning Studio 18 opened. I presume this was on top of the app but I'll never know because it was far too big for my 10.1 inch netbook screen and there was absolutely no way I could shrink it,hide it or turn it off. Nothing showed on Ctrl-Alt-Del and my only option was to do a Restart. The next thing I did was to uninstall the software, partly because of the above annoyance and partly because although it seemed to have found some junk and optimized the machine I can't say I noticed any improvement in its performance. If in doubt leave it out, is my motto.

• Fraudulent Claims = Fraudulent Company

  ganerdApril 29, 2015

  Pros

  Easy to download and install. Big CLAIMS, like candy tempting a child :(

  Cons

  ADVERTISED as FREE yet behaved as trial version. CLAIMS; WinOptimizer more UNOptimizer Name should be changed to WinCrasher

  Summary

  A person or company is ONLY as good as their word. SO, if they will lie about ONE thing they will lie about ANYTHING! That eaves me wondering just WHAT damage, spy-ware or virus have they left in my system? ABSOLUTELY cannot understand how CNET could rate these so height!! Reviews must now be bought off :(

• worked somewhat

  salazarjohnJanuary 10, 2013

  Pros

  found alot of un-needed files was quick and easy to use simple 1 button scan and fix

  Cons

  left a TON of registry errors left a ton of security problems

  Summary

  I have been using Advanced system care AND glary utilities for several years. I run ASC first then when its done I run Glary just to make sure everything is taken care of. I wanted to see if something better was out there. This found a bunch of problems and found 2gb worth of un-needed files. UNFORTUNATELY Advanced System care found a ridiculously large amount of problems directly after running Ashampoo. I'm going to keep it for a few weeks but my initial impression is that the two programs that I have been using for years are still the best combination for cleaning up and speeding up a computer.

• Fantastic!

  midnightbirdgirlJune 2, 2012

  Pros

  Does more than what you think a free program will. VERY easy to use!

  Cons

  No problems so far.

  Summary

  Could not use wireless on my laptop for days. Tried everything Microsoft Website said to do---NOTHING worked. Also, windows troubleshooter was not working. Not only did it fix those two things, but it cleaned up lots of other issues. Now my computer is acting perfect. I liked it so much I downloaded it on my 7 y/o PC as well. Now, it is working GREAT!

• Extremely Useful Tool

  AncientTykeJune 20, 2010

  Pros

  Speedy and efficient, meets all my system cleaning requirements. Easy to navigate and operate the modules.

  Cons

  No serious defects.

  Summary

  Had successfully used a much earlier hard copy version of WinOptimizer for several years, but required something VISTA compatible, this new version met all my requirements. The additional tools, File Encrypter, File Wiper, System Benchmark Check and Defragmenter are welcome, useful and easy to operate. Some registry files are not removed with Registry Cleaner, this is prob due to my reluctance, through lack of expertise, to alter default settings. The Disc Cleaner does not remove the Recent Shortcuts, but this is a minor problem. Overall excellent software.
