Update from mizdoc ( Thank you! )
For those with Windows 7……
If you contact Ashampoo re the Winoptimizer 2010 offer not installing in Windows 7, they will send you a link and a serial for it. I just heard back from them. Installed fine and works perfectly.You get Winoptimizer 2010 Advanced (free)

Update from Pavid ( thank you ! ) - regarding the W7 compatibility
Hi Guys,
Like many other people, I too had a problem with the installer as mentioned above. I cured it by right-clicking on the installer then selecting “Properties”. Next click the “Compatibility” tab then select “Vista Service Pack 2″ after you check-mark the Compatibility box and then check-mark “Run as Administrator” at the bottom. Click the “Apply” button then rerun the installer. When the installer is finished start the program and voila, away you go. I’m using a 32 bit version of Windows 7 so I can’t be sure this fix works on 64 bit Windows 7. People should also note this Vista SP2 compatibility only applies to the installer. The program runs fine without making any compatibility changes.
@George - You do not have to uninstall your prior version. Each seems to run fine while the other is present.
Take care and have a good day.

Hi friends !
We’re sure you all agree we must publish this one as HF39 ( and keep the “never-seen-on-4Free” one, for the next article )
So let’s update our actual Ashampoo portfolio. After Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 … and a few other well appreciated softwares like Ashampoo Music Studio 2009, or Ashampoo Photo Optimizer or Photo Commander, or ALL Ashampoo Promotions ! … Four days ago we have revealed how to grab Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2009 Advanced
… And now here’s the DL for Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010, as promised !
You get V 6.50 which means the latest V6 ( worth $ 49,99 ) ! It seems that Ashampoo has chosen for this new version the speed and lightness ( small 8,89 Mo installer and only 29,68 Mo installed ) , added to the usual quality and accuracy.
This time you DO get the V6 New features:
* Defrag 3 Disk Defragmenter
* AntiSpy Module
* Context Menu Manager
* Favorites Tab
.
With the reliability of 11 years of experience, Ashampoo WinOptimizer 6 makes Windows maintenance fast and easy – and it works for Windows XP just as well as it does for Vista and Windows 7. The One-click Optimizer does what it says and you can even schedule it to run automatically so that you don’t need to think about it at all. It keeps your Windows computer running as fast and smoothly as on the first day you bought it.
In addition to efficient Windows maintenance you also get a whole suite of powerful, easy-to-use tools that enable you to configure and tune your Windows computer so that it works exactly the way you want it to.
.
.
.
The WinOptimizer Toolbox
AntiSpy Module New!
A growing number of Windows services and application programs like to “phone home” and inform Microsoft or their manufacturers about a variety of things, ranging from crash reports to user behavior. Many users don’t like this and at least want to be able to choose whether these programs should do this or not. The new AntiSpy module provides settings that let you control the “spying” behavior of both Windows and these programs. Configuration options are included for a number of Windows system settings, Windows Media Player, the Windows error reporting service and others.Context Menu Manager New!
Configure and control your right-click context menus in Windows. See New Features below for full details.
Hard Disk Defragmenter New Version!
Keeps your hard disks at maximum efficiency all the time. Now better than ever with top Vista performance. See New Features below for full details.
One-Click Optimizer Improved
This is the most popular function in WinOptimizer, literally enabling you to clean up and tune up your entire Windows system with a single click, using the optimum settings to eliminate garbage data and Registry entries and defragment your hard drive. Now more efficient and faster than ever.Drive Cleaner Improved
As time goes on Windows collects an amazing number of useless, garbage files that just clog up your system. Drive Cleaner reliably and safely identifies and deletes these files, freeing up space and removing dead weight. The new version has a significantly improved scan algorithm for even faster performance, and better cleaning results.
Registry Optimizer Improved
The central Windows Registry database contains all the configuration and performance settings for Windows and most of your application programs. Like the hard drive it too gets clogged up with garbage data as time goes on. Registry Optimizer finds and eliminates old, redundant and broken Registry entries that can slow down your computer and cause unnecessary errors. The new version is faster, delivers better performance and is even safer than before.Internet Cleaner Improved
This tool finds and deletes all traces of your Internet surfing sessions to protect your privacy and increase your security. It also deletes the temporary Internet files that take up megabytes of space on your hard drives. The new version supports the latest generation of web browsers, including browser derivates based on leading browser engines.Windows Tweaking Tools Improved
This amazingly useful module gives you direct access to hundreds of Windows and application configuration and performance settings, enabling you to fine-tune your system to make it behave exactly as you want. All the settings are explained and backups are made automatically so that you can return to the original settings at any time. Many settings are difficult or impossible to access in other ways. The new version adds many new options, including “secret” Windows settings and tweaks.
System Benchmark Improved
Check out the performance of your Windows computer and compare it with other users’ systems. The new version has direct access to an online database of all users who have submitted their benchmarking results so that you can see how your system stacks up.StartUp Tuner
Lists all processes and programs started automatically with Windows and enables you to enable or disable them temporarily or permanently. Also includes Internet Explorer plugins, which you can both view and delete if you want. Eliminates the annoyance of unnecessary programs that just waste your time, slow down your computer and interfere with important applications. Also clearly identifies the essential programs that shouldn’t be disabled.Process Manager
Lists all programs and processes running on your system and enables you to terminate them forcibly if necessary. Makes it easy to get rid of frozen windows caused by crashed applications and can help to identify malicious programs. Provides detailed explanations on the processes listed and clearly identifies essential system processes that should never be terminated.File Undeleter
Eliminates the horror of accidentally deleted files. Works on all Windows file systems (NTFS, FAT-16, FAT-32) and even on compressed and encrypted NTFS files and deleted files on USB thumb drives. Displays the health status of located deleted files and shows the chances of full or partial recovery. Even if you only need it once you’ll be grateful forever.
File Wiper
Enables you to sell old computers and drives or provide access to your existing ones with confidence that nobody can access your data. If your hard drives and other media have ever contained sensitive information you want to make absolutely sure that it’s really gone before it gets into the wrong hands. File Wiper uses military standard deletion algorithms to completely eliminate all traces of the original data so that even hackers and data recovery labs can’t restore it.File Splitter & Joiner
Enables you to break up large files into more manageable “chunks” that are easier to save to disks or send by email. The joiner function then puts the chunks together again to restore the original files.Real- time Backup
WinOptimzer’s integrated Real-Time Backup system monitors everything you change on your computer with the program and creates automatic recovery backups. This makes it possible to return to your original settings at any time.DiskSpace Explorer and System Information
DiskSpace Explorer provides detailed information on the contents of all the drives in your computer by folders and file type, enabling you to identify files that are taking up space. System Information does the same for your hardware, giving you a full list of all your computer components, system software and drivers. You can also generate reports that are very helpful for support staff when you are trying to identify errors.
File Encrypter & Decrypter
Fast and safe file protection for important information, using the extremely strong Blowfish algorithm. You can also create self-unpacking decrypted files for sending to other people – they just need to double-click on the file and enter the password to unpack it.Vista Sidebar Gadget
This useful tool gives you direct access to all the cleaner modules of WinOptimizer from the Vista Sidebar – including the One-Click Optimizer. Just click in the Sidebar to access your WinOptimizer tools fast.Visual Styler
Change the appearance of your Windows system and give it your own unique look by replacing system and other icons and applying transparency effects to individual windows.Icon Saver

How to grab Ashampoo WinOptimizer 20010 Advanced, for free ?
.
1. Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010 Registration Page ( among others if you change the page ID )
Just fill in your email address and click “Send”.
http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/trial_step_1_6225_20_USD.htm
( copy and paste in your browser )
2. If you already have your own Ashampoo account you can go directy there, and find your license serial in “Freebies Registration Keys”. If NOT … You’ll be invited to first register to Ashampoo.
Like usual you will receive a first email message with a link to access your personal Ashampoo account. The serial will also arrive in a second message from Ashampoo.
3. Download the installer ( 8,89 Mo ) - ashampoo_winoptimizer_2010_6.50_6225.exe - by pasting the exact file name INSTEAD of “here” :
http://www.vnudownloads.co.uk/here
That’s it ! Run the installer and install it in a normal manner. It will only take 29,68 Mo space on your HD.
Note : if you already own a license key ( from the Registration in step 1 ) you should normally untick the “ask for a free license” case when you’reb asked during installation ( see screenshot below ). It only opens your browser to the same registration page.
After installation , when you run the app for the first time you will be able to register by selecting “Enter Key” in the Welcome Window ( see screenshot below ). Then paste the serial and … That’s it !
Thank you Mayur !
Enjoy everyone !

Anyway, I’ll pass on this one…
odd…. I got an error message that says “This program cannot be installed on Windows NT version 6.01.7600 or later” when I tried to install it. I’m still running Windows 7 RC build 7100. However, I didn’t get any errors when I tried 2009 Andvanced version.

Hi there!
Thanks for this latest version; I love this app and it’s great to get it so soon.
The only concern is I registered for the 2010 version when you posted the link in the “2009 advanced” article and yesterday I got an e-mail with an offer to upgrade the 2010 version to v6.
I’ll see if I can compare both versions and see which is more complete.
Thanks again and keep it up!

Sorry to hear that.
Have you contacted the Ashampoo-support ?
I didn’t say you don’t have to register at all.
I mean that everyone who went through the registration for Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010 (not for 2009) during HF 37 and goes through it during HF 39, will end up with the same key, although the registration links are different.
I did it & now I have the same key twice in my Ashampoo account.
Hope it’s clear now.
1 point
OK!
In two words : you have already requested the key the last time ( when we’ve had no DL ) … And the key you get now is identical.
Normal !
I am also getting the error “This program cannot be installed on Windows NT version 6.01.7600 or later”. I am using Win7 rtm. The 2009 version worked.
You can contact Ashampoo because they say it is W7 compatible.
Thanks guys, key received, file downloaded. And I was just about to install the previous version from your recent giveaway.
Still curious about the “never before seen” HF.

Nice program. I am a little confused. I currently have version 6.5 installed. BUT it is called WinOptimizer6. Nothing shows “2010″ or even “2009″. The only differences I can see, from the screenshots, is that I have one extra option in two of the modules. ??? Anyone know the difference?
Still having trouble getting comments added here. This is my third attempt. If this fails, I give up for the day
@ Gonzo
v6 will probably be more complete than 2010. Historically the “year versions” generally have quite a number of tools poached off compared to the “number versions”. I have all the versions of Ashampoo WinOptimizer starting from v1 when they used to packaged it as WinOptimizer Platinum Suite, plus 2007 to 2009 version (plus this) so that’s the trend I have seen.
And oh, the startup screen has a link to upgrade to v6, so…
Compared to version 5.13 I observe the following:-
1. Optimize performance has an extra module - Internet Tuner which was previously under Tune System Settings.
2. Privacy & Security doesn’t have - Undeleter, Tweaking & IP Spam Blocker.
3. Tune System Settings doesn’t have Visual Styler
In 2010 edition you can now schedule tasks.
@4Free
The installer was in a different language (probably German) although it installs the English version. Even the one-click optimization icon on the desktop has a name “Ein-Klick-Optimierung”. Pretty funny
1 point
I’m sorry but you’re not right!
Yo must have not payed attention and have chosen German when you have first ran the installer.
I have personally installed it in English ( like all the others, I assume ) !
Really nice! It has quite a few things in it that Winutilities does not. Looks like they now have serious competition! And it’s the recent version not an old one! A keeper.
TY!

Hi Bill !
Thanks go to mayur.
Registration/download/installation all easy and straight forward, however:
disappointing that this 2010 version (although version 6.50), does NOT contain the “Anti-Spy module”, “Context menu manager” and “File undeleter”.
Also missing compared to the full WinOptimizer 6 are the “red” and “carbon” themed skins, and the “Visual Styler”.

Hi Guys,
Like many other people, I too had a problem with the installer as mentioned above. I cured it by right-clicking on the installer then selecting “Properties”. Next click the “Compatibility” tab then select “Vista Service Pack 2″ after you check-mark the Compatibility box and then check-mark “Run as Administrator” at the bottom. Click the “Apply” button then rerun the installer. When the installer is finished start the program and voila, away you go. I’m using a 32 bit version of Windows 7 so I can’t be sure this fix works on 64 bit Windows 7. People should also note this Vista SP2 compatibility only applies to the installer. The program runs fine without making any compatibility changes.
@George - You do not have to uninstall your prior version. Each seems to run fine while the other is present.
Take care and have a good day.
I bought WinOptimizer 6 for $9.99 a month ago and thought it was well worth the money.
Ashampoo products are pretty darn good. I will always download and install their products because even if they are not the cutting edge product they are still some of the best out there.
I’ll still buy some of their software because I have so much of it I downloaded for free and I’d hate it if they didn’t stay in business.
Hi !
You’re really making me smile. So you do not understand these promotions are nothing but PURE MARKETIG from Ashampoo.
2-3 years ago Ashampoo was practically a no-name in this industry. And now …
Don’t worry about the poor Ashampoo guys ! They know exactly what they’re doing.

Hi Adrian!
You already have the answer in the comment posted by Unknown Ninja. A good example of a very important feedback.
This is how the community works !
In the corner of my computer-room are standing two computers, laughing at me. They were both destroyed by registry cleaners! WinOptimizer is okay, in general, (I have version 4, 5, and 6), but I wouldn’t dare to run the “1-click” cleaner, without first making a FULL backup!
2 points
Hi Curt !
Of course backup is mandatory.
Just curious : why haven’t you backuped before “cleaning” those two computers ? … And were them really damaged beyond any repair?
Thanks Pavid ! Its good that the W7 problem is solved !
@Priddy Boy
Ashampoo is the official Reseller of these products.. they are not theirs. they buy them from poor developers and sell them in low prices although some buy the products in a very high price sometimes (especially if you buy them the first days they release them..) they get so much that give almost 50% to their affiliates.. so don;t be afraid.. they will never stay out of business
This is a bit out of the topic but it’s not you fault.
I shouldn’t have approved the comment from “Priddy Boy” ( whoever he is )
Let’s talk about software please !
Using Pavid’s trick I was able to get the program to install in Win 7 X64 with no problems!, Thanks Pavid (I should’ve know this trick!)
(you asked, so here I am merely answering): The two ruined PCs are from old days when I was too naive/trustful and with too little self-discipline/patience, to perform backups
, and I never paid to get the system on a disc! It would be easy to get them patched, (Win2000Pro and XP Home) in English, but apparently not in Danish.

Hello, thank you for this version. I have an older version, I also have a number of their products. I like the Office 2008 from them.
Great company that cuts prices 70% or more.
The Office 2008 was $69.00, It only cost $4.99, I found out if i wait for the right e-mail from them the prices keep getting lower. they do though send a lot of letters to me.
Do not jump at the first discount price they offer you, they do not date most of the price cuts so you can compare and pick the cheaper on.
I love the office much faster then Open Office, smaller with less modules, but does the work great.

Hi !
I normally use “Glary Utilities” for my cleaning duties!
So I did a little test by running Glary’s 1-Click Maintenance then running Ashampoo’s One-Click-Optimizer to see if it picked up leftovers.
Well, on this count, I got good news AND bad news!
Yes it found more than Glary but it also did not ask permission before deleting and got rid of my cookies, a behavior I curbed in Glary.
Because contrary to Ashampoo, Glary’s 1-Click shows you (and lets you choose) options on the front page BEFORE doing anything.
Ashampoo’s one-click options are more like in the back somewhere.
Aside from that medium-minor annoyance, this software is good at what it does and offers modules not found in Glary.
But like with every other cleaner application (Glary, Ccleaner and others), you need to be careful at setting the depth of its actions because you MIGHT wipe away stuff you really need.
Thanks mayur and 4Free for this HF
