Want To Enhance Your Computer Performance?

As I am writing this, I just started the process of reviewing the jv16 PowerTools 2009 application. I am rather passionate about almost any type of software that makes my life easier, and the whole point of jv16 PowerTools is to speed up your computer, and keep it going smoothly, but it sounds a little too idyllic for my liking, though I must admit I’m a skeptic when it comes to software which claim to make your computer, “faster, better and hassle fee”.

The download has just completed, which was just over 5MB (Not bad at all), and I am now starting the installation. During the first start up, I am again jocund to find that they offer a backup option, should anything go wrong.

They had a warning that some of the functions might not be necessary for all user, and you’d have to check for yourself what you need. Should you not know what a specific feature entails, rather find out before trying it out.

I first scanned my registry, and found that, even though it took a while, it was worth the wait

Then I had a look at the system tools section, where there are, amongst others, the option to set which programs you want to be started automatically when booting up your computer.

I must say, I was impressed with the intuitiveness of the application, and the ease of use, but I would not necessarily recommend a novice to use it. In my opinion this tool can be extremely helpful for someone who knows what he’s doing, but in the wrong hands it might just be dangerous. My reason for this opinion is that backups are not made by default, and a novice user can easily neglect to choose the option which will make backups of their current system. Once they’ve run the registry clear for instance, without having made a backup, they might end up with programs which don’t work anymore, due to some components being lost.

Overall, I still think its a great tool though, and after rebooting my computer, I can already see the difference in performance, and I must say that I’m impressed
