Ashampoo UnInstaller 15
![[Image: Bqgv1O8.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/Bqgv1O8.jpeg)
Ashampoo UnInstaller 15 efficiently removes programs without leftovers and allows for risk-free installation, testing of any software. With up to five levels of deletion, any application is removed far more thoroughly than Windows alone could ever manage. Even programs with highly nested setups are fully logged and completely removed when necessary. The 'installation logs' contain all file and Registry modifications, completely reversing any changes upon removal. 'New application installation setups' are auto-detected from start to finish, so users rarely need to intervene. Even 'unlogged installations' can be cleanly removed using the programs' own uninstallation routines, supplemented with software database profiles and specialized methods like deep cleaning. The new version's central background guard now runs up to 10x faster and boasts a significantly reduced memory and CPU footprint, making the program also suitable for aging or low-end PCs. The beginning and end of installations is recognized much more reliably, as are complex installation routines. The new Privacy Traces Cleaner module reliably finds and deletes usage traces, while the deletion history built into all cleaners transparently records all operations.
- New background guard makes all the difference!
The 'new' background installation guard' in Ashampoo UnInstaller 15 performs real-time installation analysis up to 10x faster than previous versions. It accurately detects the start and end of installations and gives better support whether it be nested or rare setup types.
- More efficient, less resource-hungry
Ashampoo UnInstaller 15 now runs with a a significantly reduced memory and CPU footprint. Your system runs smoother while you benefit from optimized log creation and processing.

The module reliably scans and cleans folders, files, and the Registry–keeping your system private and secure. Additionally, the deletion history built into all cleaners provides a comprehensive overview of all past cleaning operations.
- Up-to-date cleaners with added features
Our popular cleaners are part any UnInstaller worth its salt and have once again been updated. Internet Cleaner handles running browser processes with aplomb and includes a new cookie whitelist.

4. Hibernation
"Hibernation" places applications to sleep while also disabling all of their related "Autostart entries" and "background services" until the user needs the program again!
5. Windows-Apps
This module list all installed "Windows apps" including system apps and allows the user to remove them using Ashampoo® UnInstaller. Windows-default apps can only be restored by reinstalling Windows. Categories are below.
6. Impact
UnInstaller 14's "Impact" now factors in scheduled tasks for more realistic results. The "Impact" module visualizes the impact of installed software has on system performance. "Impact" lists the programs that have the biggest impact on the performance of your PC. Several factors, (like CPU and memory load), are factored in to determine the order.
7. Browser plug-ins
This module lists all "browser plugins" for your installed browsers. Use the left categories to filter results by browser manufacturer. User can either click an entry to uninstall a selected plugin or use the check boxes to uninstall several applications in a row.
8. Snapshots
"Snapshots" module documents the current state of the user's PC system at the time of creation. By comparing two snapshots, a user may effectively trace any modifications for a selected time period.
9. Tools
These are collection of tools that help the user clean system, remove no longer needed and leftover files and defragment the hard drive(s). Note that some modules that delete files and folders will always move them to the recycle bin first with the exception of "File Wiper". This allows the user to restore files/folders in the event of malfunctions.

- Drive Cleaner
Drive Cleaner scans the user's system for no longer needed files and displays results grouped by categories. Ashampoo® UnInstaller displays the number of results for each category.
- Registry Optimizer
Registry Optimizer scans the user's Windows Registry database for no longer needed entries and displays results grouped by categories. User needs to "check" the check boxes to select/deselect individual results or use the top buttons to select all/no results from a category. A "Write a report" is there to save results as a text file. Exceptions are also allowed and user can specify an entry as an exception to exclude it from future searches.
- Internet Cleaner
User can specify a scanned entry as an exception to exclude it from future searches. User can also remove exceptions in the settings for this module. This allows the user to keep settings such as login data for your webmail account from being deleted every time he uses Internet Cleaner thus eliminating the need to set it again.
- Boot Center
This module lists a summary for recorded boot times, autorun entries and tasks.
- Service Manager
Services are background programs required by Windows and other applications to work properly. This module lists all installed services and provides a rating on their usefulness. It also allows the user to modify start types individually.
- Undeleter
Ashampoo® UnInstaller's "Undeleter" attempts to recover accidentally deleted files. User simply needs to select a drive and click "Search". Selected files after the scan can be recovered.
- File Associator
File Associator allows the user to associate a file / file types with viewer/editor programs. File types that are currently unassociated are marked red.
- File Wiper
When Windows deletes a file, the deleted file's disk space is marked as reusable. As long as it isn't used for new data, the original data is still there and can be recovered easily. 'File Wiper' overwrites these areas with data such as zeros so the data can no longer be recovered.
- Unlocker
This module allows the user to unlock files that are currently locked/used by Windows, e.g., to delete them. Note: Deleting system-critical files may lead to crashes and instabilities.
- Backups
Ashampoo® UnInstaller allows the user to "undo" changes made by the Registry Optimizer or WinOptimizer, (through Registry Optimizer) if the changes have led to undesired system behavior.
