Publisher's Description

From Media Freeware:

The free PST viewer is a handy tool that is specifically designed to help users view the PST files. It is a simple and intuitive software application that enables users to view the PST files without the need to install Microsoft Outlook. This free software application includes a few simple settings that can be easily handled by most of the users. With the assistance of this file viewer, users can easily view emails without installing MS Outlook. This free software enables users to access the PST files easily. It also enables the users to view email items, notes, calendars, drafts, contacts and so forth which are used and saved in the PST file format. The Free PST viewer is also combined with a Search option that allows the users to locate the PST files easily on the computer. This software application includes a simple interface with a regular window and layout. Users can utilize a file browser to open the PST files. The free PST viewer also offers the option to navigate through different directories and locate messages easily. It is also possible to view the name of the sender, body of the message, time and the subject of the message. All these items are displayed at the bottom of the screen. This PST viewer allows the users to open and view the PST files but users are seldom allowed to save items in this file format. Moreover, the software program hardly repairs corrupt PST files. However, the free PST Viewer supports all the possible versions of Microsoft Outlook which include Outlook XP, Outlook 2000, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007. This software application functions smoothly and quickly regardless of the performance of the computer. Although the tool features no advanced settings, it serves the purpose of viewing the PST files perfectly.

"Does What it says..."

Pros

Can be used as portable when installation folder is simply copied to USB.
Opens like a simple mail client with easy interface.

Cons

The installations has a lot of ADWARE, but if you know how to skip and avoid them, at the end you get the program installed.

Summary

All in all i would have given 5 stars, if there was not so much ADware at the begining.

"Does Exactly Nothing"

toastmasterbone May 20, 2015 / Version: Not Found

2015-05-20 12:32:01 | By toastmasterbone

Pros

Clean interface

Cons

I have Outlook and it works fine, but I have old PST files in an external drive that I wanted to see so that those files didn't overwrite my current Outlook files. I have tried to view just over 10 PST files. I either get a message that the file(s) failed to load, or nothing at all happens.

Summary

This program makes me nervous. After multiple unsuccessful attempts using different PST files, I get the uneasy feeling that installing this program was a great mistake. I can't prove that it may compromise my system's security, but I'm taking it out anyway. I mean, what program does NOTHING?

"Malware trap. Avoid."

SPTSTC September 18, 2014 / Version: Not Found

2014-09-18 08:31:01 | By SPTSTC

Pros

Does in fact open PST files, I guess. Had trouble with attachments and printing.

Cons

Installs malware even when such options are carefully avoided during the installation process. Otherwise, not particularly good at what it purports to do. I wound up having to go with another option regardless of the malware issue.

Summary

Lost productivity cleaning the machine means that even a paid solution is going to be cheaper in the end. The positive reviews here are obviously sockpuppets. Don't touch this trash.

"It works but watch out for extras"

matriarka July 23, 2014 / Version: Not Found

2014-07-23 08:24:50 | By matriarka

Pros

It works. I was able to open my PST files without having to use MS Outlook.

Cons

There are many extras during installation. I had to click on Decline five times before finally it proceeded with installation of the PST viewer. During those 5x, the prints about the extras (Conduit Search, Plus-HD, Focusbase, Desktop Weather, RegClean, VuuPC) were much much tinier. Obviously, the author expects most people to not notice all these extras and just click on Accept without reading carefully. Quite deceptive but that's what you get with free apps.

Just be careful and read before you click on Agree or Accept.

"Full of malware"

johnny_mb July 19, 2014 / Version: Not Found

2014-07-19 00:42:14 | By johnny_mb

Pros

None. The App has problem with bigger (500k+ PST files) - it's simply hangs up.

Cons

It's loaded with a bag of malware (for example VO Package). I wish I saw the guiman100 post earlier. If you still want to install it, be ready for malware removal procedure like this one: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/vo-package-removal/

Summary

Stay away from this!

"Infected Resource"

guiman100 July 17, 2014 / Version: Not Found

2014-07-17 15:09:33 | By guiman100

Pros

There are none unless you like malware.

Cons

Bitdefender blocked the install because of malware and "infected resources." Might be a nice program like the other reviewers here say, but not worth it for the "extras" you get.
