This shows how much we care about our visitors
. We have already pointed out the VNUnet.com free promo for Ashampoo WinOptimizer 4 but we have also noticed that Version 4 started to appear as a freeware on some download sites . So the old tip was no longer , let’s say , a big deal .
What ? Our site’s reputation - as first hand freebies “diggers” - might be in danger ?! No way !
Today we’re proud to deliver this almost unknown tip ( at least for the english written sites and blogs ) about how to get a free full licence key for the amazing Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5 .
We are even happier because we’ll smile again when seeing how this will feed again some copy-cats out there , putting the tip on their ( too aggressive - if you ask us ) traffic-oriented blogs … Forgetting to credit us ( and others ) as their source , although we see their IPs visiting every day ( in our statistics ) … And placing links to their phony reviews wherever they can on the web .
We’ll understand better if they’ll change their logo into : ” I am very poor ( and a bit stupid too ) and I’m desperate to get rich by using/stealing other people work, without giving the deserved credits … Never heard of netiquette …”
Our actual main target is to spread the word about quality freebies and these parasites are ( finally ) helping us . Unfortunately we have to teach some common sense notions too .
They won’t understand anyway … So let’s get back to work !

Why “amazing Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5″ ? Because we have tried it and we were quite impressed . Remember that Version 4 was already a solid product, with its Vista compatibility ( both 32 and 64 bit versions ) and the powerful Tweaking Tools ( the System Benchmark and the Visual Styler as well ) . Version 5 obviously keeps the above mentioned features and comes with 2 brand new modules - Undeleter ( restore mistakenly deleted files ) and Icon Saver ( save the arrangement of icons on the desktop ) - and numerous enhancements like :
# Real-time Backup - “monitors all key system processes that the user performs with Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5 to back up the original configuration in real time. If
necessary, it’s easy to restore the original configuration. Extensive notes are included with all backups.”
# Registry Optimizer - ” Previously referred to as the Registry Cleaner, this module scans the Windows registry. Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5 finds broken links that have empty references and automatically either eliminates or immediately repairs them. The integration with real-time backup here ensures that it is always possible to restore the original condition of the registry.
# Vista-Gadget - ” Under Windows Vista, all the cleaner modules of Ashampoo
WinOptimizer 5 can be launched from this gadget. Even One-Click Optimization can now be run from the gadget. Users can also view a graphic representation of processes with the gadget and have the available capacity of their hard drives displayed. “
We like its speed and performance , all trough a very modern and easy-to-use GUI ( finally ! ) . It has an unbelievable number of tweaks and tools , which might frighten some users . Don’t worry - the restore module works like a charm !
In our humble opinion the developer - Ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG - is gaining more
and more respect and fame with top quality products like WinOptimizer or Burning Studio .
Hats off for the German rigor and quality !

ashampoo would not accept my e mail address why? yours ijs
I have checked just before writing this answer with 2 different emails
Give them another email address if they really don’t like your actual one .
Good luck and keep us informed please .
Ashampoo don’t accept Hotmail adress as an e-mail if you would like to get to use their programs and you can not contact them. No e-mail on their homepage only an web-form for communication, and this web-form do NOT accept Hotmail-addresses. BAD policy from Ashampoo. I should not have to get another e-mail only to satisfy this strange rules from Ashampoo. I wonder what Ashampoo do if a PAYING customer want to use an Hotmail-address?? Well we never know, Ashampoo is not to let you contact them and people that have an other e-mail-address, why should they care??
Just look at your own (Editor) comment above!
Hi Rune!
Really don’t understand why you are so angry on such a minor aspect.
You can always contact Ashampoo from your personal Ashampoo account, after registration.
Hope that helps!
I also have the same problem with ALL AShampoo and using my HotMail. This is not just limited to any free or shareware programs, it appears to be everything. I tried buying a DVD editing/burning program from AShampoo a short while ago and could not due to the HotMail issue, so I simply went elsewhere and paid half the price for a similar program. (I have since reverted back to Nero 6 after trying versions 7, 8, 9 & 10, but this is an unrelated issue). If AShampoo, or others, insist on this email protocol, Í will not even bother looking at their products, free or not, good or not. My only other email address is a business one, spam free and securely monitored, and it shall remain that way. OOPS, Getting a bit gruff. : -D
It is a professional-looking application with an easy to understand interface.
It provides a fast way to optimize your pc .
You can run a quick or a full scan from the Overview tab.
I had only 445 MB that could be deleted after the full scan.
It suggested that 2 programs should not automatically start at startup because they are using too much resources.
I would suggest that you peruse the items that are listed after a scan so that you can deselect those areas that you do not want to be deleted or changed.
The backup does however make it possible to undo critical mistakes.
It does what the developers purport it to do.
This application is definitely a keeper.

You guys are the greatest. You find these great promotions that just keep on giving months later. Take care and have a good day.

Thank you!
This is a great utility that I would recommend to anyone who wants to clean up their PC. One interesting thing that this tool found is that I had 5 GB worth of restore points. It offers to delete every restore point except for the most recent. 5 GB is a lot for me. I also like every little feature on this utility. The 1-click maintenance is a helpful tool if you’re on the go. I really like this product. Thanks for the share!

Thanks for Ashampoo WinOptimizer ver 5. I’ve run into a confusing problem. You state the latest official version is 5.11, and the key will work with either the download from Chip.de or directly from Ashampoo. The Chip.de version is 5.10 (16MB). The Ashampoo direct version is 5.13 (10MB). Does the older Chip.de version have more features that the Ashampoo version, or is it just bloat? I downloaded and installed both versions, and at first glance they seem the same. The key works with both as you stated.
Your comments please.

Hi there!
A lighter installer doesn’t always mean a less featured application.
We must find the time to try the latest V 5.13 and compare with V 5.10.
But I wonder what’s stopping you to do that ?
Regards!
for those people that only use hotmail, it’s inconvenient but Ashampoo must have their reason to choose not to deal with such ISP, personal experience big corporation usually have their rules, it would consider a hassle if you need to compliant sometimes. my suggestion is use another domain(free one of course) if the software is a good one, it’s just a communication tool. ps. Have you consider you would lost all your email if you only use hotmail ? (I’ve have 2 experience been shutoff access and force migration), don’t bet all eggs in one basket

Thank you for the info.
Hi folks,
I use yahoo and never have any problemo’s. Anyway i think winoptimiser is a great program. It lets you change all the settings windows doesnt want you to change. Also, every move you make is backed up so you dont have to worry about fouling things. You can just undo what ya did. Its cool.

Simply Brilliant!!!! I was trying to download WinOptimizer5, from other freebie sites, wasn’t working.; the same Run Time error message kept coming up. I’d settled for WinOpt4. Here, no compromise, no ’settling’….. I think your reputation as ‘as first hand freebies “diggers’ is certainly well deserved and intact.

Hi Jonas!
Thank you for the kind words ( no need to exagerate )
I’m glad it was useful.
Regards !
I have to say, I don’t know which one I like best. Winutilities is definitely on of the best but I also like Tuneup utilities with their Winstyler. Might as well keep both, what one can’t do the other will. Only 1 program to download is so much better than downloading a bunch of software to do these things individually.

is this compatible with win 7 64 bit?
Hi !
No … But why don’t you check the latest 2010 version ?
Read the updates in the article and you’ll see how to make it work on W7.

Good luck !
I got my free full version key for Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5 via e-mail in German. But the link led me to an all German web page & I never did find a D/L to click for Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5. Can someone provide a simple link to an actual D/L for it? Sorry, I don’t speak German.
