​The Ultimate System Cleaning and Error Fixing Utility Suite

RegCleaner gained enormous popularity and was featured in all the biggest computer magazines around the Globe. Yet, there was still need for more features and in 2001 the development of a full Windows cleaning and tuneup utility suite started. Originally called "Project X" the lightweight utility suite later became known as "jv16 PowerTools". The name originates from the developer's initials Jouni Vuorio and 16 was the age he started to develop RegCleaner (to which jv16 PowerTools was much based on). The jv16 PowerTools project also started as freeware.
