German developer Ashampoo has announced the release of Ashampoo WinOptimizer 12 ($49.99), its hugely comprehensive all-in-one PC maintenance toolkit.
Extended drive and internet cleaners work to free up more hard drive space. They can optimize multiple user accounts in a single operation, too -- no need to log into each account individually.
A brand new File Manipulator can encrypt, decrypt, split or merge your chosen files.
The HDD Benchmark makes it easy to test and compare the performance of your hard drives.
We’ve not tried it yet, but the internet optimizer now reportedly supports broadband connections. (Don’t laugh, plenty of similar tools still rely on ancient TCP/IP tweaks which haven’t done anything useful for years.)
There’s still the long list of modules from previous editions -- real and on-demand performance boosters, Registry optimizer, defrag tool, duplicate file finder, undelete/ secure delete modules, startup tuner, uninstaller, disk space analyzer and more -- and it’s all wrapped up in an enhanced, easier-to-use interface.
Ashampoo WinOptimizer 12 is available now for Windows XP-10.
