Features

Window Washer 5.5 is the definitive choice to safely and completely increase system performance and completely wash away your on and off line activities. It's an Internet washer, system cleaner, registry cleaner and privacy protector all in one!

Automatic PC Cleaner

Schedule automatic cleaning cycles at specified intervals, during shut down or start-up.

Convenient and Easy-to-use

One mouse click launches the "Wash Now" function.

Folder and File Shredder

Safely and securely shred a folder, and all of its contents, or a single file with the built-in Windows right-click menu option. Shredding permanently overwrites these files, rendering them unrecoverable with unerase utilities.

Customized User Interface

Select the interface that best matches your comfort and experience level. The beginner screen is intuitive and immediately allows for a safe wash experience. The advanced screen gives you additional options such as keeping cookies from a specific domain or skipping plug-ins during a wash.

Custom Wash Items

Simply click and assign your personal set of files, folders or registry entries for cleaning.

Bleach for Extra Security

Completely overwrite files with random characters making them unrecoverable by undelete or unerase utilities - a security feature which exceeds the tough standards of the Department of Defense and the National Security Agency.

File Protection

Built-in safety features prevent you from accidentally removing important files. When you attempt to wash files located in special folders (including system folders, My Documents, My Photos, etc.), Window Washer 5.5 will alert you to any potential danger and prompt you for a confirmation before proceeding with the wash.

Cookie Keeper

Save valuable cookies to maintain your preferred Internet settings and log-ins, then let Window Washer delete cookies you don't want.

Boost Performance

Remove unneeded files to recover hard disk space and speed up system performance.

Integrated, Free Plug-ins

Automatically discover and install free plug-ins for the latest versions of your favorite programs such as Photoshop, KaZaa, Real Player, Adobe Acrobat and more. More than 60 free, pre-configured plug-ins are included in Window Washer v5.5.
