Well, who else would post anything nice at all there!

Sorry about reviving this thread (edit: it might not be the correct one, please move if needed).

I got one of his advertising emails not long ago regarding a "new" version of the
product. I've replaced http with hxxp in all links (I haven't visited those myself).

SpoilerWe have been working around the clock for almost a year now, shrouded in
secrecy and powered by our endless desire to step up our game. Now it’s
time to start to show you what we have been working on.

It's called jv16 PowerTools X and we are super excited being finally able
to tell you about it.

There are so many new things to show to you. But for now, here is just the
first bit of something you should find very interesting:

Startup Optimizer. It's the name of a new feature of jv16 PowerTools X. We
just ran a real life benchmark test in which it improved Windows PC's
startup time from a sluggish 102 seconds down to just 35 seconds! From 102
seconds to 35 seconds. No tricks or gimmicks: All the software and all the
features of Windows are still loading and the Startup Optimizer does not
remove any software or anything from your computer. It works by integrating
itself to the Windows startup procedure and optimizes it to give you a
faster and smoother starting computer. The results are, simply put
astonishing.


The new version will be released before the end of the year, side by side
with a new benchmark test study of unseen scale. Including tests about the
system startup times before and after the Startup Optimizer. The study
tests and measures the actual system cleaning and optimization effects of
jv16 PowerTools in more detail than ever before. We will be publishing all
the information about the test setups, all the numbers and actual video
recordings of the benchmarks being performed so you can verify that
everything is done correctly.


The new PowerTools X will be a free update to all of our Platinum VIP
customers and to all customers who have bought jv16 PowerTools 2014 in
August of 2014, or later. That also means that if you buy jv16 PowerTools
2014 now, you will be entitled for a free update to jv16 PowerTools X.


If you want to secure a Platinum VIP status, please use this link and

fees: hxxp://www.macecraft.com?discount=8998


For more information about the jv16 PowerTools X, please see:

Now the forum is down for mainteance (It had/s a lot of warnings about purchasing).

J-Mac:
OK - Either Macecraft is at it again, or someone is appropriating their name and trying to pull something.

I just received an email - ostensibly from Macecraft - offering their latest - jv16 PowerTools X. Now we have already seen where Jouni - the developer - has moved to Thailand and left his staff stuck to answer questions, all without pay. Why would we believe that he is back developing this program?

Oh - and the URL it tries to send you to is an odd one. Definitely not the old Macecraft site. (I didn't try it - don’t want to catch anything).

arkh.io is apparently an url shortener. whois
I haven't tried the links though.
At the bottom of that message you probably noticed a macecraft url.

You know, it's coming soon..or so it says, once a month or so.

Why?? I assume he's continuing to sell nonexistent versions.
If people haven't paid attention, he probably still gets a sale or two.
