In total, WinOptimizer features over thirty cutting-edge tools that cover the whole spectrum of system cleaning, tuning, and optimization!

Next-gen privacy protection with Privacy Traces Cleaner

Find and delete sensitive data

Whether you use Windows apps, games, or office suites, all applications leave behind traces that may compromise your privacy (and security). Privacy Traces Cleaner features specially designed search algorithms that scan files, folders, and the Windows Registry for such traces and eliminate them–after your review and confirmation, of course! There’s a built-in Registry backup feature for added safety, whitelisting for individual exceptions, and multi-user support so you can clean all user profiles in one go.

Aside from the CPU load speedometer, you now also get a first-hand look at disk usage and privacy-related information, courtesy of our new Privacy Traces Cleaner! Increase the size of the program window for even more valuable system details, like number of irrelevant files, services, and Registry entries, or the amount of potentially reclaimable disk space. The system analysis will tell you what you need to know!
