"STAY AWAY from this DANGEROUS BUGGY program"
Cons
I had tried this program once just for testing its function.
After download and installation, I found that it could show
some previously removed files, but they could not be restored
due to trial version mode. Anyway, I thought it seemed ok and
then closed it. After some times I tried it again by testing
with some erased files together with directories, which were
then emptied by recycled bin. It again showed the lost files
....But then after a while the windows began to response very
slowly and finally hanged (the program's still running). I tried
to press ctrl-alt-del in order to bring the task manager up to see
which process caused hanging.
However the keyboard even could not response. Thus I could only power
off the computer as there's no other method. Normally from previous
experience, power reset didn't cause any big problem for winxp.
BUT this time the hard disk could not boot anymore and an even worse
situation was that when I booted the system with CD I found that
the hard disk's boot sector, mbr, fat info were all destroyed.
Only a few files could be found.
Therefore, my advice is to stay away permanently from this buggy program,
and DON'T even try to download it!
Try to get some programs with good reputation instead.

I also downloaded the trial version. Luckily I installed it on a test machine in my office. Once I ran this program I was able to see deleted files. But the machine then went into a restart loop that would not stop. I was unable to boot to a startup floppy also. I had to run Darik's Nuke and Boot to be able to redo this machine. This is a terrible product!
