Ashampoo software is it worth having for free?

xxdeebeexx

Hi I had an email offering the 5 progammes below for free

Ashampoo® Burning Studio 2009 Advanced
Ashampoo® WinOptimizer 2009 Advanced
Ashampoo® UnInstaller 3
Ashampoo® PhotoCommander 6
Ashampoo® Slideshow Studio 2010

Are they worth having?
I have so much clutter on my ageing computer soI don't want to download rubbish but, don't want to pass up a bargin

I use 2009 burning studio (which I got free but forget how) and it does the jobs I needed it for adequately enough.

I automatically distrust any software that claims to optimise Windows and I've never felt the burning need for an uninstaller. Not sure exactly what the other two do but they sound like pretty lightweight photo organisers.

I'd keep the Burning Studio.

I use the free version of Ashampoo Burning Studio and it's brilliant for doing stuff with CD's/DVDs and disk images. So much simpler that I no longer use my retail top end programs from Nero or Roxio.

Maybe check the Ashampoo web site to see if they offer free versions of the other programs, then at least you can alway install those later on.

Bottom line though - if you're not using it then lose it.

I like ashampoo burning studio but beware... the 2009 advanced will not deal with divx, avi files etc and will only burn regular video TS files. Unless you need some way of burning audio cd's, slideshows etc I would leave it alone.
