Overview

jv16 PowerTools is a Windows system utilities suite. Originally, the program was called RegCleaner and it was released in 1998 as a freeware program. In the early 2000’s, the program was renamed to jv16 PowerTools and converted from freeware to shareware, selling for $29.95 for a copy.

The program’s name comes from the initials of its original author, Jouni Vuorio plus the age of 16 when he started to develop it. He has since legally changed his last name to Flemming, which is an old surname of his family.

The company that develops jv16 PowerTools is called Macecraft Software, which was founded by Jouni Flemming in 2002 and he is still the lead developer of the product. The company is registered and operating from Finland.

The product is not a registry cleaner, a system cleaner or a temp file cleaner. The product is a Windows utility suite that contains many features and tools, including the System Cleaner tool, which also performs Windows registry cleaning and temporary file cleaning.

Key Features

System Fixer

[Image: tool_system_fixer_results.png]

More work and fun, less Windows issues and troubleshooting!.

The more time you have spent with computers, the more Windows errors messages you have seen – and the more time you have spent troubleshooting Windows errors!

This is why we developed System Fixer. It’s an easy to use tool that scans your entire system for common Windows and system errors and fixes them for you.



System Fixer can automatically find and fix:

Broken file references in the registry,
Invalid or corrupted app uninstallation data,
Invalid Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts,
Invalid automatically starting apps,
Left-over files and registry keys from previously removed apps.
The built-in System Fixer feature makes jv16 PowerTools the easiest way to fix and repair Windows

System Cleaner

[Image: ZALdPfw.png]

Cleans unneeded files and registry data.
Allows cleaning of browser history and cookie data on domain by domain basis.
Looks for common system errors such as registry errors and broken shortcuts and allows all of them to be fixed.
Does not only clean junk but also fixes errors.
Full of unique safety features, for example, does not list registry data of currently installed apps.

Browser Data Cleaning:

The cleaning of browser data supports currently Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers. You can choose what browser data to clean on domain by domain basis and jv16 PowerTools will automatically keep cookie data from websites that have been bookmarked. This means you can clean unneeded browser data but without having to login to every website again the next time you visit them.

Standout Feature: Accurate analysis with the focus on safety.

Software Uninstaller

[Image: tool_software_uninstaller_results.png]

Allows unattended uninstallation of multiple apps at the same time.
Lists all files, folders, shortcuts and registry data relating to the installed apps.
Uninstallation first uses each app’s own uninstaller and then Software Uninstaller’s custom uninstallation engine to ensure nothing is left behind.
Standout Feature: Unattended uninstallation of multiple apps at the same time and does not rely on each app’s own uninstaller.

Finder

[Image: tool_finder.png]

The program saves your time by finding data faster and easier. If it’s there, Finder will find it for you!

You can search for:

Files,
Folders,
Registry keys, and
Registry entries.
You can search for all these data types at the same time, for example to find all files and registry data relating to an installed app by searching with its name. You can also search using many search phrases at the same time and from many folders at the same time.

Windows Search can be slow and inaccurate, and doesn’t allow you to decide what exactly you want to find. jv16 PowerTools’ Finder can be configured and it will search exactly what you want, how you want!

Big File Finder

[Image: tool_big_file_finder.png]

Finds big, disk space wasting files.
Supports skipping new or recently used files.
Standout Feature: More flexible set of options to allow the user to find exactly the files they want.

Duplicate Finder:

[Image: tool_duplicate_finder.png]

The program lets you get more free space by finding and removing duplicate files.

You may currently be losing a lot of disk space due to duplicate photos, or duplicate video files. You can recover disk space and free system resources by finding the duplicate files and removing them.

Duplicate files are files with identical content, although the Duplicate Finder can also look for files with identical or similar filenames. If you want to find duplicate files, this is the tool for you!

Trying to find duplicate files with Windows File Explorer or Windows Search would take ages.

With jv16 PowerTools, it takes a few seconds! After the tool has found the duplicate files for you, you can select which ones you want to keep and which delete, and the tool can clean up the unwanted duplicate files for you.

Like the Big File Finder, this tool also supports a wide range of filters for finding duplicate files. For example, you can only look for duplicate files which are over 50 MB in size and have not been used in the last 7 days.

Additional Features

Easy to use with a wide array of useful features. For example, searching the list of found items, filtering the result list, saving the results to list with a support for multiple file formats.

The program supports Dark Mode user interface and high resolution screens.

The program is easy to use, but it is a powerful tool for computer enthusiasts and professionals. This means it is extremely configurable with options such as hiding tools the user does not wish to use, disabling all online accessing features like checking for updates, and protecting the program installation with a password.

No Bloatware

jv16 PowerTools does not and will not ever include any bundled software or malware.

We have been in this business for over 20 years. Our integrity is our strength. Our product is never going to include any bundled software, hidden malware features like trojan horses or spyware.

File Renamer

[Image: tool_file_renamer.png]

Save time by not having to manually rename files. Renaming files manually is tedious, it can take a long time and it is easy to make mistakes. That is where jv16 PowerTools comes in. It can easily rename many files at the same time, as well as edit existing file names for example by performing a find and replace with the file names. File Renamer performs what is often called a batch file rename, which is just a fancy way of saying changing the names of many files at the same time. This is something you cannot do with Windows File Explorer. Did you just download a collection of hundred files and the filenames all look like “company_document_hall_cleaning_procedure.pdf” etc? With File Renamer, you could for example remove all the “_” characters from the filenames, add text to each file or perform a find and replace within the filenames.

File Splitter

[Image: tool_file_splitter.png]

Ease up the transfer of large files over the internet by splitting them into smaller parts. It can be difficult to transfer large files over the internet. For example, most file upload websites won’t allow uploads larger than 100 MB. And even if you can upload bigger files, splitting the uploads and downloads into smaller pieces reduces the risk of the transfer failing and you having to restart it from the beginning. File Splitter allows you to split large files into multiple parts, either by splitting the given files into a specific number of parts, or by file size. For example, you can use this tool to split a large file into parts of 50 MB.

File Merger

[Image: tool_file_merger.png]

Benefit Ease up the merging of downloaded file parts. As mentioned with the File Splitter, transferring large files can be difficult. Splitting files into smaller parts makes it a lot easier. File Merger allows you to merge any split files back into their original state. File Merger performs what is called a binary file merging. It means it will simply append all the data together into a single file. This means it works with any file type, but it’s especially handy with large compressed files such as ZIP files and large video files such as AVI or MKV files that have been split into parts.

File Deleter

[Image: tool_file_deleter.png]

Prevent the need to pull your hair for not being able to delete the files you want. It can be difficult to delete files in Windows. Files can be protected against removal by many different methods. For example, “Cannot delete file, the file is open” error message is familiar to every Windows power user. Not being able to delete files can cause many problems, such as not being able to uninstall and reinstall apps. Malicious software could also try to protect itself from being removed. This is where the File Deleter comes along. It unlocks and deletes files that cannot be normally deleted, you can even use it to delete protected system files. File Deleter uses two methods of deleting locked files: First, it attempts to unlock the file and then delete it. If that fails, it can also restart Windows to delete the file before the system starts the next time.

File Wiper

[Image: tool_file_wiper.png]

Improves your privacy by removing data in a way it cannot be restored. When a file is normally deleted, it is simply marked as free space on your disk but the data still remains there and can be easily recovered. This can raise many privacy related problems, for example if you are selling your computer and you want to ensure it doesn’t contain any of your files. File Wiper allows you to easily remove files from your computer in a way they cannot be recovered. This works by first overwriting the data on the hard drive multiple times with random data and then removing the data. A special feature of jv16 PowerTools’ File Wiper is that it also generates fake data to make it impossible to even say what file names used to exist in your system. For example, if you use the File Wiper to delete a file called “my_secret_selfie.jpg”, the tool will first generate many similarly named files, as well as files with random English words and then delete them all from your drive. If anyone could restore the names of files you used to store in your computer, you now have plausible deniability that you didn’t have such files, that they were in fact just created by jv16 PowerTools.

Task Manager

[Image: tool_task_manager_automatic_closing.png]

Free up system resources by closing unneeded apps. Windows Task Manager allows you to see which processes are running and allows you to terminate the processes you don’t want to see. That’s good, but jv16 PowerTools can do better. First of all, Task Manager allows you to see running apps, not processes and without any background system processes filling the view. The difference between a running app and a running process is that an app can have multiple processes and on the other hand, a process may not be relating to any running app but to the Windows system itself. Task Manager also supports real-time filtering options, so you can only see the data you want to see. In addition, our Task Manager supports the automatic closing of apps and processes. For example, let’s say you want to focus on work but some apps keep showing you popup notifications. You can start the Automatic Closing feature and define which apps should be allowed to run, and the tools automatically closes everything else – and keeps them closed.

Web Blocker

[Image: tool_web_blocker.png]

Allows you to focus on things that matter in life, also improves your online privacy. Having almost unlimited access to entertainment online is a good thing. But there can be too much of a good thing. If you feel like you would sometimes want to not have access to social media or news websites, for example, this can be easily done with jv16 PowerTools’ Web Blocker. Also, you can use the Web Blocker to block access to advertising and online tracking related services to improve your online privacy. Web Blocker can block access to specific websites. You can either choose to block all websites of certain types, for example, to block access to gambling related websites, social media websites or to adult entertainment websites. You can also whitelist websites that you want to allow access to even with the blocking enabled. For example, you could choose to block all social media websites, but allow access to LinkedIn for example. The blocking of websites works in the Windows core level using its Hosts file. This means it works with all browsers and does not rely on any running apps, plugins or browser extensions. And it won’t slow down your web browsing.

Internet Optimizer

[Image: tool_internet_optimizer_results.png]

Find cute cat pictures faster. When you open any website, your computer needs to make many DNS queries to find out which servers online you need to connect to. The default settings can be very slow but the Internet Optimizer will benchmark and find the best DNS server for you! Internet Optimizer runs benchmarks to test what are the fastest DNS servers for you to use. This allows you to optimize your internet speed by removing all the trial and error and guesswork. There are many lists of the fastest and the best DNS servers to use. In fact, we have one such list: Best DNS Servers to Use For Free While these lists can be useful, why choose a DNS server that is the fastest for someone else, when you could just click one button in jv16 PowerTools and let it automatically choose the fastest DNS servers for you

Widget

[Image: widget_small.png]

Benefit See what’s running in your computer and close what you don’t need. jv16 PowerTools comes with a Widget that can show information about the running apps, and it can be extensively configured to display different information and show different tools. As with everything in jv16 PowerTools, the Widget can be suited to your needs. No matter if you want to have a lot of information and tools visible

Program Settings:

Fully Configurable Application

[Image: other_settings_general1.png]

Benefit Use our program the way it best fits you!

Many things how jv16 PowerTools looks and feels like can be configured. This is because we know you want to use the program the way it best fits your needs.

For example, do you use a system with multiple displays? You can define which display jv16 PowerTools should start on. Do you not use some of the many tools jv16 PowerTools contains?

jv16 PowerTools’ System Cleaner outperformed other PC cleaners


It’s easy to make bold claims without evidence. That’s why a benchmark test was conducted to give further proof on why we believe that jv16 PowerTools is the best Windows PC Cleaner.

In a benchmark test that we conducted in 2020, our System Cleaner cleaned more leftovers than three popular PC cleaners. Here are the summary of the results:

Advanced SystemCare – 47 left-overs cleaned
Avast Cleanup Premium – 22 left-overs cleaned
CCleaner (clean only) – 14 left-overs cleaned
CCleaner (uninstall + clean) – 92 left-overs cleaned
jv16 PowerTools (clean only) – 179 left-overs cleaned
jv16 PowerTools (uninstall + clean) – 601 left-overs cleaned

Windows Software Uninstaller Product Comparison 2022



Summary:

jv16 PowerTools is an awesome PC System Utility Software for Windows designed to make your computer work faster and smoother. Using the program, you can easily manage, optimize and clean the system registry, shred files and folders or clean junk. In addition, it also boosts the overall computer performance.

  T-RackS EQ 81 Giveaway is available now FREE for a limited time!
Posted by: tarekma7 - 02-04-2023 , 05:11 PM - Forum: External Giveaways/Freebies - No Replies

[Image: T-RackS-EQ-81-Screenshot-2048x780.png.webp]

T-RackS EQ 81 is an audio plugin tool that is based on another classic piece of hardware whose character was instrumental in shaping the sound of many hit songs. The sound engineers were able to recreate all features and functions of the original model with this plugin, which can be used on almost any DAWs including Logic Pro X, Garageband, FL Studio 12+, Ableton Live 9+, Pro Tools 11+, Cubase 8+ etc.

the EQ 81 can be considered the evolution of its older brother, the EQ 73. However, T-rackS EQ 81 is a great tool for anyone who needs to adjust the sound of their track. There are four independent bands that can be adjusted, plus high and low pass filters, which allow you to home in on the exact frequency that you need adjusting. This module is particularly useful when precise adjustments are needed while still maintaining tone and warmth in your signal path.

Key Features of T-RackS EQ 81

IN: Sets the input level of the modeled mic preamp section. Increasing gain will result in more level and progressively more saturation of the processed signal, up to a gritty level of distortion. The range is +/-20dB.
OUT: sets the output level of the module. It can be used to compensate the variability of the input level in both positive or negative. The range is +/-20dB.
Hi-Pass Filter: sets the frequency of the Hi-Pass filter. The slope of the filter is 18 dB/Oct. Available frequencies are: 27Hz, 47Hz, 82Hz, 100Hz, 270Hz. OFF position switches the filter out of the signal path.
Low-Pass Filter: sets the frequency of the Low-Pass FIlter. The slope of the filter is 12 dB/Oct. Available frequencies are: 3.9KHz, 5.6KHz, 8.2KHz, 12KHz, 18KHz. OFF position switches the filter out of the signal path.
Low Band Freq: sets the frequency of the Low Shelf Band. Possible values are: 33Hz, 56Hz, 100Hz, 180Hz, 330Hz. OFF position switches the band out of the signal path.
Low Band Shelf/Bell: switches the Low Band from shelving to peaking mode with a constant 0.2 Q.
Low Band Gain: sets the gain of the Low Band. Available Range is +/- 15 dB.
Low Mid Band Freq: sets the frequency of the Low Mid Band. Possible values are: 220Hz, 270Hz, 330Hz, 390Hz, 470Hz, 560Hz, 680Hz, 820Hz, 1000Hz, 1200Hz. OFF position switches the band out of the signal path.
Low Mid band Gain: sets the gain of the Low Mid Band. Available range is +/-10 dB.
Low Mid Band Hi-Q: switches the bandwidth of the Low Mid Band from a constant 0.5 to a gain dependant 1.0 with a slightly more pronounced gain range.
High Mid Band Freq: sets the frequency of the High Mid Band. Possible values are: 1.5KHz, 1.8KHz, 2.2KHz, 2.7KHz, 3.3KHz, 3.9KHz,4.7KHz, 5.6KHz, 6.8KHz, 8.2KHz. OFF switches the band out of the signal chain.
High Mid Band Gain: sets the gain of the High Mid Band. Available range is +/- 10 dB.
High Mid Band Hi-Q: Switches the bandwidth of the High Mid Band from constant 0.3 to a gain dependent 1.0 with a slightly more pronounced gain range.
High Band Frequency: sets the frequency of the High Band. Possible values are: 3.3KHz, 4.7KHz, 6.8KHz, 10KHz, 15KHz. OFF position switches the band out of the signal path.
High Band Gain: sets the gain of the High Band. Available range is +/- 15 dB.
High Band Shelf/Bell: switches the Low Band from shelving to peaking mode with a constant 0.2 Q.
Phase: inverts the phase of the processed signal.
EQ: turns the EQ section on or off; when EQ is off signal is still passing through the preamp section.
ON: turns the whole module on or off.
RESET: when clicked, this control brings the settings of all of the parameters back to their default. Clicking again will bring the controls back to their last state, in case you accidentally hit this button or changed your mind.
L=R: links the two channels for stereo operation: all parameters affect the two channels in the same way to maintain a consistent stereo image.
L/R: click on the L or R icons if you want to dial in specific EQ settings for L and R channels independently.
M/S: this option uses a Mid-Side matrix to insert the stereo EQ in your processing chain. This means that you can independently equalize the Center or the Sides of your stereo program. The L and R icons are replaced by M and S in this mode. Click M to set the EQ for the Center (Mid) of your stereo image or S to set EQ for the sides

Mac requirements: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM (8 GB suggested), macOS 10.10 or later.
Supported Plug-in formats (64-bit): Audio Units, VST 2, VST 3, AAX.

  Kaspersky releases 2023 predictions
Posted by: mrtrout - 02-04-2023 , 05:54 AM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/kas...edictions/      Kaspersky releases 2023 predictions
by Cedric Pernet in Security
on January 23, 2023, 9:41 AM EST      A new report from Kaspersky details what their digital forensics and incident response teams predict as the main 2023 threats to corporations and government agencies. Learn more about it.  A new report from Kaspersky details what will be the most challenging threats for corporations and government agencies in 2023.    Data leaks increase
Data leaks affecting both personal and professional data grew in 2022 and will continue into 2023. Huge data leaks impacting millions of users occurred in 2022, such as the WhatsApp leak and more recent Twitter leak exposing more than 200 million users’ information.

Those data leaks are often sold privately in cybercriminals’ underground marketplaces, with price depending on several parameters such as the number of users, the types of users targeted, and whether the passwords are encrypted or clear text.

For example, a database containing 105 million Indonesian citizens’ records was sold in September 2022 for $5,000 on the dark web. The database seemingly came from the General Elections Commission of Indonesia and contained full names, places and dates of birth, and national identification numbers.

Corporate emails impacted
Corporate email addresses should never be used on any non-professional service, yet people tend to use it to register for third party web services. This greatly increases the attack surface for the corporate entity, as an attacker may collect that information. Should the employee use the same password on the service as his corporate email account, attackers may obtain a foothold inside the entity’s infrastructure. In addition, there is the single-sign on risk of compromising access across several entities.

How to secure your email via encryption, password management and more (TechRepublic Premium)
“With many applications using SSO for authentication, it is crucial to supervise rights given to applications and websites to avoid any malicious ones having full rights on email accounts,” Marc Nebout, cyberthreat analyst at Sekoia.io, told TechRepublic. “It’s also important to educate users on good practices such as having a different password for all their accounts.”

Nebout continued by noting that companies shouldn’t just educate their employees.

“Companies should also enforce 2FA on all applications where the option is available,” he said. “Supervision of cloud applications should be done, and if any suspicious behavior is detected, such as a connection from a different country or at an unusual time, passwords should be reset.”

Using corporate email addresses on multiple third parties services also increases the risk of phishing and success of social engineering schemes.

The ransomware threat
Kaspersky observed that threat actors insist on the publication of their stolen data from companies. In each of the first ten months of 2021, they saw between 200 to 300 posts per month (Figure A) from ransomware actors showing their successful compromises. By the end of 2021 and the first half of 2022, that number grew to more than 500 per month.

Figure A

However, in previous PR attempts, the LockBit group has published supposedly successful corporate compromises which were later found to be fake.

“There are cases of ransomware actors making misleading attack claims,” explained Livia Tibirna and Pierre Antoine Duchange, threat analysts at Sekoia.io. “We observe this on a regular basis, although it is not necessarily common to all ransomware groups.”

There are several possible reasons for these misleading claims:

Improper analyses of the stolen data by the threat actors, whether intended or not.
Attempting to monetize an intrusion, even if there was no encryption.
Attempting to damage the reputation of an organization.
Fabricating a higher level of intrusion activity by the ransomware organization.
Seeking attention for their ransomware organization.
More cloud, more attacks
Cloud and virtualization technologies will be increasingly hit by attackers. While businesses often transfer parts of their data and operations to the cloud, they also often use partner services which may not be well configured or contain vulnerabilities.

Companies may not be aware of cloud infrastructure intrusions, as some cloud providers do not log important system events. This makes it interesting for attackers and makes proper investigation and incident response more difficult, according to Kaspersky researchers.

Malware-as-a-service model keeps growing
Malware-as-a-service models have gained popularity through the last years amongst cybercriminals and will keep increasing.

“Cybercriminals try to optimize their work efforts by scaling their operations and outsourcing certain activities, just as a legitimate business would,” Kaspersky said.

This model also lowers the barrier of entry for wannabe cybercriminals, as they can just rent efficient services to operate without needing too much cybersecurity knowledge themselves.

The increased use of this model may lead to less unique attacks due to different attackers using the same tools. These tools may subsequently increase in complexity to avoid being correctly analyzed by automated security systems.

Stop Auto Clicking: CTRL+N
Start Recording Mouse Actions: ALT+B
Stop Recording Mouse / Replaying: ALT+N
