Get rid of the search engine and home page hijack. or at least uncheck them as default so that the user can choose themselves

Some users will click on installation buttons blindly and end up with a new home page. I find it annoying that you check the boxes to change the computer settings. It should be the other way around. (i.e. uncheck the boxes)

Uncheck the Ashampoo news and updates boxes from the 'Service Channel configuration window

This should be set to unchecked by default

Give away your latest and greatest, rather than your flawed first attempt

These giveaways serve to promote, but also to improve, your software. If you fob us off with your old, superseded stuff, you achieve neither goal satisfactorily.

Eable the user to be able to remap the color coding for the hard drive image - this would be useful for those with color blindness issues.

Add more hard drive tools such a simaging and recovery options as well as partitioning tools

This would create a good suite of tools that would save having to buy separate tools for each of the categories mentioned above.

Include a network version that would enable the user to monitor all hard drives on their home network from a central computer

Not only would such a facility save on having to install the full program on all computers, but it would make it much simpler to monitor all computers on a home network from a central computer.

Simplify the registration process

Improve the registration process. The current one is too much of a hassle and is misleading that it is a 10 day trial.

Include a more interactive help file with video tutorials and tips on using this software

This would be especially useful for novice users, but would also enhance more seasoned users knowledge.

I could not register it, - even trying the alternative method

The drive order changes while being used - this should stay the same - ie alphabetical.

There is a good choice of languages, but more need to be added (for example some African languages, Icelandic and Thai)

Wonder why this product wouldn't open the reg. page when most things here are more than willing to popup links at the drop of a hat. Now I can't use it (don't do 'trials') and will dump it. Sorry, you missed a customer. That said, the breadth of f

Stop using that horrific MS Office Ribbon design. It breaks every rule of design, slows the user down and takes up too much space.

Drive Cleaner shows file that do not appear to be redundant

The drive cleaner function list many files as redundant but I see no duplicates. Each file is different from the other files in the list, including different file sizes.

Show temp in status bar, use F or C for ALL measurements once chosen, include sector/cluster repair, separate the disk and file functions into separate programs, this is a mashup between free CCleaner, SpeedFan, MyDefrag, and others, but isn't as goo
