Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite is designed for maximum security
Because of Windows®' great complexity, identifying redundant files, registry entries and other items is far from a straightforward process. Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite uses very fast and intelligent scanning algorithms that reliably identify genuinely redundant items in the vast majority of cases.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for any program of this type to guarantee 100% accuracy. Even Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite will occasionally make a mistake and identify an item that is actually needed as redundant.
This is not a problem!
Everything that Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite deletes can be restored or recovered. All deleted registry entries are automatically backed up to special undo files, all your Internet connection settings are automatically backed up to recovery files the first time you use Internet Tuner, and all deleted files and other hard disk items are first moved to the Recycle Bin where they can be recovered if necessary.
The only exception to this is the File Wiper module, the purpose of which is to delete files and folders permanently so that they cannot be recovered. It is not possible to create backups or to move deleted items to the Recycle Bin with this module, as this would make File Wiper useless!
