This program is absolutely amazing
Kamika-zJuly 20, 2009
Pros
There are other programs with more functionality for forensic needs, but if it is just a very advanced file recovery program that you need, this is amazing. When other undelete programs do not work this does a very deep scan with customizable options
Cons
Some little features that would be nice to be included, but overall I don't have any complaints
Summary
This program is amazing, if only for recovering deleted files or lost partitions.
