Ashampoo WinOptimizer is an easy-to-use suite of tools for maintaining and optimizing your Microsoft Windows computer. It keeps your Windows installation free of unnecessary garbage and running smoothly while other computers just get slower and slower.

In addition to older versions of Windows, the new Ashampoo WinOptimizer 4 is fully compatible with Windows Vista in both the 32 and 64 bit versions. This means that you can start maintaining your slick new Vista system right away - it won't even have a chance to get clogged down with new garbage!

But that's not all: Once again, Ashampoo has managed to produce a radically better and more useful program - without compromising their famous ease of use. In addition to Vista compatibility, WinOptimizer 4 also comes with three new modules, a brand-new hard disk defragmenter, a huge number of new system tweaking options and many other improvements and enhancements.

The new version includes three new modules and a completely new Vista-compatible version of the disk defragmenter. In addition to this a very large number of new options has been added to the popular Tweaking Tools module - you can now adjust well over 450 Windows system settings, and each setting is clearly explained so that you always know what you are doing.
