    @Uriel, or should I say Macecraft. Couldn't you come up with something new or better promotional comment? The last one was almost the exact copy of the many previous ones - the meaningless "I couldn't live without it, ...the wild cards".

    Not just here, but when I look up any other review boards I find the same fake promotional post for JV. " I couldn't live without it" etc.

    What kind of review is this? Macecraft, your softpack is just the same embarrassment as your unethical kind of marketing, yet you are unable to push the ratings higher.

    Please, don't use review boards for marketing, pay the site owner for placing your ads in a professional way.

    This is just a reminder that this isn't the final version yet. But if you like to help out with testing it, give it a whirl. Keep a system backup handy though.

    I love this piece of software so much that I purchased the lifetime version of it. Not only does the registry cleaner do a superb job, but my favorite features are the directory finder and the file finder. Wild cards can be used with these finders and they are much more reliably deep and thorough compared to using Microsoft's file finder which seems to scan only the user files.

    I also like to use this app to manually cleanup uninstalls that even Revo Uninstaller misses or leaves behind. It's a breeze to manually find directories and search for targeted keywords in the registry with JV16 Powertools. I couldn't live without it.

    This piece of software is one of my all time favorites.

    You certainly don't keep re-writing a registry cleaner every year.

    And unless you have full images of your hard drive that you keep for prolonged periods you shouldn't even consider using one to be honest.

    The few orphan entries that cleaners find are miniscule compared to the size of windows registries.

    I used to as many members on here it seems used registry cleaners in the past & even have a lifetime upgrade to JV16 & know from 'experience' they are far more trouble than they are worth & if you want problems on your PC they are the quickest way of going about it. (I think)

    @ carlvui

    I've finally given up on jv16, I'm not even going to try this version.

    After mucking about and destroying my registry I'd only have have to reload it from a backup. It'd serve no real purpose other than to waste time.

    Cheers.

    The saddest thing about this scamware that the long list of bugs are practically the same for many years long for each newer versions. Every new version suffers the same, they never seem to be able to finally fix them.

    So much about their expertise.

    Very disappointing and off-putting indeed. It's time for Macecraft to consider a refund and compensation for the destroyed Windows for many of their cheated customers. I was a fool I believed them.
