    So I was evaluating jv16 Power Tools a while back as it was the recommended Registry Cleaner on Kaspersky Forums. I installed the demo and was about to purchase it, but before I enter my paypal details, I stopped, thinking, let me first evaluate it.

    I installed the demo and cleaned my registry. It destroyed many things in my computer. Many programs would not work properly, a weird settings changed, I had the Games Folder in my Start Menu set to expand as a menu; after the registry cleaning, it changed to not expand but rather, just became a short cut link. Many weird things I can't remember.

    So I quickly uninstalled it and went back to an image I created earlier before installing jv16 Power Tools.

    Now, everyday, I receive this email from them, even though I have replied to them to NOT send me anymore emails and have placed them on my junk list in Gmail, but I don't know how are they still sending me this crap everyday!

    People beware not to ever deal with this cheap company!!!

    PS: Anyone knows how can I report them to authorities for sending me spam? I know there was a site or email that you can report to but I forgot it.

    I can't believe people at the Kaspersky Forums recommend jv16 Power Tools to clean up the registry after uninstalling Kaspersky Internet Security or Antivirus

    I just filed a complaint against Macecraft and that annoying employee who keeps emailing me with the Federal Trade Comission!
