"Worked well to recover deleted movie from phone sd card"
Version: Search and Recover 5.1.0
Pros
Fast and easy recovery. Free trial to recover 3 files.
Cons
Interface is lacking. Button colors look grayed out. Didn't realize they were active till referencing the help section. No preview of video files.
Summary
I just downloaded the first 4 results from cnet in file recovery. Only one of them actually found the file I desired. This one did found them and very quickly with a nice filter feature (which could stand an easier button oriented interface). The thing I'd really want is a pay as you go option. I have some family videos I may or may not want to recover. If I could pay a buck a piece to recover the 5 files I desire, I'd do it. 25 or 30 bucks for software I don't really need and will likely never use again... not so much.

"Decent program"
Version: Search and Recover 5.1.0
Pros
IGenerally, I liked the UI, it was pretty self explanatory, user-friendly, and helpful.
Cons
The UI seemed a bit dated. Firefox 3.6.6 froze during download of the installer file. See more information in my summary.
Summary
This product claims to be able to find emails. I attempted to have it find them for Windows Mail, to no avail. Apparently, it will only find emails from the four mail programs: Outlook,Outlook Express,Thunderbird and Eudora, if I remember correctly.
The features seem to be somewhat standard for a program like this. I used the product with ease, as I believe even a first-time recovery tool user would also.
As for Firefox freezing, I attempted to end the program, but I eventually had to perform a hard reboot to clear the problem. This is not to say that there is something wrong with the file. Upon reboot, I scanned with MBAM and two others, no malicious code detected, including the registry. I use Vista SP2, max RAM on an 845GV P4 mobo with a fresh OS install.
I found the uninstall utility to be pretty standard. It claims to need a reboot to complete, but I was able to bypass that using Revo Uninstaller.
I liked the program, for the little time I used it. My main goal is to recover my Windows Mail emails. My next stop is Recuva. -
"Warning! This program is not worth the problems"
Version: Search and Recover 5.1.0
Pros
none. I can't think of a single thing that would make somebody want the headaches this program will cause
Cons
I downloaded and installed this program AND IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED my Outlook .pst - and without warning. I lost all of my emails, and I've been forced to spend hours trying to correct the problem. THIS PROGRAM WAS A NIGHTMARE
