Protect your privacy

Disable telemetry, prevent reports, and make your Windows more discreet

Windows is notorious for its lax data and privacy policies. Ashampoo WinOptimizer FREE features two powerful modules to customize Windows and protect your privacy. AntiSpy takes care of telemetry, folder sharing, remote access and update settings while Win10 Privacy Control enables users to disable location services, cloud syncing, Cortana and many other privacy-relevant features. Not only will this help you protect your privacy but it'll also conserve precious system resources. Now you get to decide which privileges each application gets, how Windows Update behaves, and whether your PC can be tracked or Cortana can listen in. You can also specify whether Windows can sync your passwords, enable or disable OneDrive, and opt in or out of personalized ads.

Delete, encrypt and recover files safely

Validate shortcuts, split up files or delete them permanently

When deleting sensitive data, it is essential that the files in question cannot be recovered. File Wiper eliminates files permanently and renders them irrecoverable, even for special data recovery tools. With Ashampoo WinOptimizer FREE, you can also split up large files, e.g. to fit them onto separate storage volumes, and recover accidentally deleted, and not yet overwritten, files – unless they were wiped with File Wiper, naturally!
