"Tries very hard to do what it says on the tin"
Version: IsoBuster 3.1
Pros
The paid version has done much better than any of the other free stuff I tried (and one I had to pay for). The others just copied a CDA file (I understand it as some kind of shortcut) whereas isobuster has actually managed to recover some of the full audio files on my cracked cd.
Cons
It hasn't been able to recover all of my data, but any recovery from a cracked cd is nothing short of a miracle!
The only real con is that I don't have a lot of computer knowledge and trying to figure out how it all works and what the options mean takes a little bit of time. I suspect if I really understood what I am doing I would be able to get a lot more use out of the program! However, explanations for the basics are there in the help section so with a little bit of perseverance it's ok.Summary
Good program that works despite the challenging conditions I have provided it with! I still don't fully understand what the difference is between the free and paid versions as when I tried to use it it asked me to pay anyway. The paid version is worth the money though!

"Not for Hard Disk recovery"
Version: IsoBuster 3.0
Pros
Sorry - I bought this product for one purpose, and it didn't work.
Cons
Don't buy this product for hard disk recovery. It is very slow and then crashes, even on small hard disks. Other HD recovery products worked fine. I cannot comment on use of this product for recovery of other media.

"VIRUS DON'T DOWNLOAD!!!"
Version: IsoBuster 2.8.5
Pros
I've used it before and it was great! An Awesome tool! I lost it after a format and wanted back badly! Definitely a tool that's irreplaceable.
Cons
VIRUS! I downloaded it and AVG popped up with the message calling it a Trojan Horse SHeur3.CEZS. Even if it's a false positive why take a chance with this product!
Summary
I checked it also with Trojan Remover and Malwarebytes with both saying Ok. I just couldn't take a chance even if it's a false positive and neither should anyone else.

"A free iso file mounter that does not mount iso files"
Version: IsoBuster 2.8.5
Pros
Installed quickly, loads of options.
Cons
The free version does not let you mount an iso file. This is what the program is advertised as doing.
There are free tools out there that do this - this one costs money, while claiming its free version does it. -

"Product is a life saver!"
Version: IsoBuster 2.8

I had all my files (work, home,pics) backed up onto a dvd while my computer was being reimaged. The dvd worked fine and I was slowly moving files as needed when it suddenly showed up blank. This product quickly and smoothly recovered all my files.
Cons
None at all.
