This is the core functionality that you are buying and it is very reassuring because it spouts these large numbers of things it fixes – broken shortcuts, invalid uninstallers, registry problems, recovered memory, dangerous and unnecessary startup problems, Internet clutter fixed, and so on. If you have truly incriminating evidence on your drives, I suggest doing what the Feds do – pulverise the disk platters into tiny fragments. I have no way of knowing how well the drive was scrubbed. I let the latter loose on my 23 GB download drive that is never backed up. This wipes an entire drive or just the free space on a drive. I defragment my drives regularly, which may explain why so few recoverable files were found. I restored a file that was 238 MB in size and it opened as expected. I think I had deleted them about three months ago. The process ended sometime while I was in bed and it found almost 29,000 files, with a prognosis of “Fair”, “Unknown” or “Good”. The latter includes temporary file fragments that you won’t want to worry about. Unlike other file recovery programs, it appears to undelete seemingly impossible things, such as individuals email, calendar tasks, notes and so on.Īt the 30 percent mark, it had found 25,000 deleted files plus 92,000 others that were filtered out. This estimate kept increasing and it looked like it might run all night. I let it loose on a 30 GB partition and it estimated initially it would take about 90 minutes to find deleted files. I did not install the AntiVirus and Firewall, because removing and restoring my existing software takes a long time and I am not in a position to test these features in a controlled environment.
