Ashampoo is a well-known software developer with a wide range of software applications including system utilities. WinOptimizer stands out among other system repair programs with its unique features. WinOptimizer 6 is the latest version of the all-inclusive system repair suite of applications. There is a great deal to like about the program, including its sparkling interface and many features. Both beginners and veteran users will find the features easy and powerful enough to deal with many common problems.
The system repair suite offers many features often found on more expensive programs. The well designed interface shows a great deal of work that has been done throughout the past five iterations of WinOptimizer. At $49.95 the program is both relatively inexpensive and powerful. Ashampoo often has sales and discounts that can lower the price. The company also often gives away or allows users to download older versions of their latest software free.
Features:
Many of the suite’s applications and features are easy to use and powerful enough to deal with daily problems that PCs experience. From spamware to clogged registry entries, WinOptimizer can handle such problems with aplomb. The integrated benchmarking system can show possible performance problems along with details on components that may be affecting the problem. The Defrag 3 application is powerful and can be setup to defragment a hard drive continuously at scheduled times or run on demand.
Interface:
The interface and layered menus are a definite strong point for WinOptimizer. The interface and menus are both intuitive and easily navigated. Beginners will have little difficulty in learning about the different features. As for anyone that just wishes to have a one button solution to solve all of their computer’s simple problems, Ashampoo offers a single-click optimization feature that will scan a computer for most common problems. More advanced users can utilize the more detailed features such as some of the Windows system tuning features. Ashampoo WinOptimizer also allows users to change the theme of the interface to different types of schemes.
Performance:
WinOptimizer is fast and speedy for most tasks. The Defrag 3 application was also speedy and performed analysis very quickly on the 500 gigabyte hard drive we tested. The menu system is fast and responsive, even when background services are being run.
Updates:
Ashampoo does a nice job of keeping its product up to date. Updates for most of their products can be downloaded directly from their website.
Help and Support:
Ashampoo offers online support for WinOptimizer and other products from their website. Both email and online support is offered including a basic FAQ. More serious questions can be sent via email to support staff with a fairly fast turnaround of 24-48 hours.
Summary:
There is a great deal to like about WinOptimizer 6. It offers a large number of features, speed, and an easy to use interface. While it might not offer repair support for physical system problems nor system analysis features, it has applications that covers most other problems encountered by Windows users. With an extensive history of development and refinement, WinOptimizer has been tested with many years of use.
Perhaps the one downside is the asking price of $49.99. The price may not be exorbitant, but other competitors offer the same features with extra applications including rudimentary security features such as firewall systems. All the same, customers will get more than their money’s worth with WinOptimizer6.
