Well, I believe that products like this GAOTD are very GOOD only for the AVERAGE JOE USERS who are eager to have any functionalities under the same roof.

More advanced geeks usually prefer specialized programs to perform each single task offered by this GAOTD.

For instance, as disk junk and privacy internet cleaner, this magic FREE tool is much better than this GAOTD and, in my view, even than the overrated "CCleaner":

Another good FREE product is also “Portable DisCleaner” (32 bit only):

As REGISTRY OPTIMIZER, "Auslogics Registry Defrag" (http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/registry-defrag) is far better than the similar tool provided by this GAOTD.

To repair internet connection the freeware "TCP Optimizer" (http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php) is more complete than the INTERNET TUNER offered by this GAOTD etc...

Ahraf asked himself, I quote, "why the bloody hell does Ashampoo need to confuse us by having three different versions of WinOptimizer (WinOptimizer Free, WinOptimizer 20XX, and WinOptimizer XX)???"

LOL...heck, maybe because they use this service to grab email addresses in the hope we buy the full commercial version of their GAOTDs offered here for FREE (in this case WinOptimizer 10)??

Overall this GAOTD deserves a THUMBS UP, but as usual I can't see any reason to download it taking into account that:

- it doesn't refer to the main commercial program
- it cannot be updated for FREE

Giovanni's final verdict ==> THIS IS A DAMN SATURATED FIELD NOWADAYS, meaning THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY OR DOWNLOAD GAOTDs LIKE THIS WITH THE UPDATE LIMITATION....

In my humble view, to make them more appealing, GAOTD products like this should have the UPDATE limitation extended for at least 6 months, otherwise it doesn't make sense to download them unless you are not aware of better FREE ALTERNATIVE of course!!

What a surprise, the moderator/censor has again decided that a lighthearted observation about a weak product description doesn't deserve publication but bland praise does. I submitted this before #2 and 4:

Someone should take the thesaurus away from Ashampoo’s marketing department immediately before they hurt themselves!
I read the description of the software and still have very little idea what this application does. LOL
“will stand for modern technology, efficiency, security and intuitive handling” (wow)
“maintenance automatisms” (say that 3 times real fast)
“unrivaled homogeneous handling concept” (huh?)
“invariably intuitive handling” (say what?)
“direct link to the Windows recycle bin” (an uninstall omen?)

Oh boy, here we go again. By now everyone is aware of this publisher's tactics. We are offered "WinOptimizer 2013". This is a software product that does not appear on their website or anywhere else for that matter. It is only offered here. So are we special or something? Not really. This is just their way to try to entice you into buying WinOptimizer 10. This offer is most likely better than WinOptimizer free but will lack certain features in hopes that will inspire you to purchase WinOptimizer 10. If they wanted to have a true giveaway, why not just offer WinOptimizer 10? Thank you for the great work GOTD team.

Pros
*Has over 20 built-in features, tools, and functionality that you would otherwise need to download multiple different programs to have
*Automatically creates a backup before making “critical” changes to your computer (e.g. registry changes), allowing you to undo changes as desired
*Has an always-free version

Cons
*Just like all jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none programs, WinOptimizer offers many features but most of these features are sub-par or gimmicky

Free Alternatives
ToolWiz Care
WinUtilities Free

"The program is available for $39.99 (for WinOptimizer 10), but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer." Is what is said under price in the info box. But then it says we can upgrade to WinOptimizer 10 for only $15.99 instead of $39.99? So it's not really a giveaway software. Sounds more like a dumbed down version of the newest. Basically a "free" edition.
