This is a quick review
Recuva is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses.
The following full-length review applies to version 1.2
Recuva, brought by Piriform, the same developers of CCleaner, can recover accidentally deleted files on your computer, digital camera memory cards, MP3 players or memory sticks. Even files that have been deleted by viruses or as a result of crashes can be brought back to the computer.
This application is simple to use, with a wizard that guides users along the recovery process, and a fast engine that can scan drives at an amazing speed compared to other programs of the kind. Recuva offers two scan options: first, a rapid scan, which can be helpful with recently deleted files; and a complete deep scan that may take some more time, depending on the drive size. After searching and detecting the deleted files, Recuva offers a comfortable way to select the ones you want to rescue. These files may be pictures, music, video, documents, compressed files (zip and rar), and other file types.
This new version of Recuva (1.2) brings some improvements, for example slight changes in the interface, a better recovery of .TIF files from FAT32 file systems, among others. |
