There are three basic kinds of modules in Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite: Cleaner modules, Tuner modules and modules with additional functions.

Cleaner Modules

As their name implies, Cleaner modules are used to clean up Windows®. They provide functions with which you can seek out and delete all the different kinds of garbage that collect in your Windows® system, including redundant files, shortcuts, registry entries and so on. Getting rid of this garbage frees up valuable space on your hard disk and makes Windows® run more smoothly. See Why Optimize Windows®? for details.

Tuner Modules


The Tuner modules improve various aspects of Windows® performance by optimizing the standard parameters that control how your computer and the operating system work. The default settings that Windows® uses are often less than ideal and sometimes they can be improved considerably. See the sections on the individual Tuner modules for details.

Additional functions:

The modules File Wiper, File Associator and (optional) Popup Blocker can't really be classified as either a cleaner module or a tuner module, so we decided not to call it either. But we think you'll agree that it makes a very useful addition to Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite!
