    The last three versions of this product are very dangerous. They find hundreds and even thousands of False Positives. If you follow their "findings" and delete all those registry keys or values, your system will crash. Abandon jv16PT and use a good free registry tool like TweakNow RegCleaner or EasyCleaner.

    I've been using jv16PT for all its life. There /have/ been (I think) two occasions when it's caused me a problem, but its backups have never failed me. Not sure what the scare-mongerers below are going on about: competitive FUD, I expect. Time and again, it's been rated the best of the bunch. (Fred Langa has a particularly high opinion of it, if memory serves, after exhaustive testing.) Yes, it's not for the foolish or uninformed, it's a tool for techies. You can make it break your system, if you try. But it's never broken mine, and it's solved a good few problems that have evaded other tools, which makes it (in my eyes, anyway) a Damn Fine Product.

    I partially agree with madmike, but his rating IMHO is exaggerated. I know this application ever since its start, I agree that time has modified some things (which ones?) but overall it remains healthy, and efficient. I stick on 5 stars for two reasons : 1- It works, 2- Staff and forums are dynamic (they strive for quality).
    A good product.

    It seem to me Victoras' post of Feb 5, 2009 is the most correct and revealing information on Macecraft products.

    I am not against registry cleaning I myself use one and tried many, among others JV16, but yes, I am against buggy weak products.

    JV16 not only damages your OS but as if it wasn't enough its own restore and undo is useless, that is why their very own home-site in the news section of
    "10.09.2009 - Potential problem in jv16 PowerTools 2009"
    advises users to download registry patches from another site to restore the system, damaged by their product.
    Leastways, it remains there until they remove this piece of news.

    Yes, as many poster reported it correctly, JV16 is still buggy.

    Good idea to be patient and check out all the other available products very carefully before installing this one.

    Take your time, don't hurry.
