Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4
"Free, And It Works."
Pros: Lets you un-delete files that have been "permanently deleted". It only took me about 10 minutes to use it the first time, it's pretty simple.
I was indeed able to recover many files that should have been permanently deleted. Awesome.
On a more devious note, you can use to program to see what OTHER people could easily find on your computer (like police/customs/your BOSS). If you find that this program provides a bautiful list of your nasty old files, you should then download and run the program called "eraser". Re-run PC Inspector and hooray, your naughty list is gone and replaced with jibberish.
Cons: Somewhat slow. The program displays all active files in addition to the deleted files (fortunately in a separate list). I'm certainly no computer guru, but it seems like it would be much faster to just list the deleted files; we already know about the files that haven't been deleted.
The list of deleted files contains many ghosts (even when restored, there is nothing there). However, it's my understanding that this isn't really PC Inspector's fault. So don't expect to be able to restore EVERYTHING on the list it gives you.
