Avoid Digital Disasters: File Recovery Software Resurrects Deleted Files, Photos, Music, and E-Mail From Virtually All Digital Devices
Digital technology allows users to delete an unwanted image still in the camera, something that millions of novice photographers are learning. Today's photographers can prevent the heartache of lost photos with an easy-to-use software tool like Search and Recover to find and recover deleted digital photos.
Proprietary new StrongScan® from iolo technologies helps users locate and identify lost files even months and years after being deleted using improved search algorithms. Enhanced file pattern searching locates and recovers even the most difficult items by scanning byte-by-byte. Data recovery is designed to be fast, safe and reliable.
The Search and Recover Version 3 powerful tool arsenal is designed for both advanced and novice users to quickly and easily find and recover deleted, destroyed or damaged files from DVD-R, CD-R, and other optical media. The software works with digital cameras, and with music players, compact flash, memory sticks, smart media, hard drives, and other portable media.
Users can recover pictures, videos, songs, e-mail, documents, spreadsheets, or any other PC file or folder with the easy to use interface -- even after the Recycle Bin is emptied. An easy-to-use wizard recovers important items in three steps; select the file types to find, select where to look, and instantly recover the items found with one click.
"iolo has experienced tremendous success with Search and Recover, the most robust tool for PC users to find and reassemble data," said Scott Yenor, iolo chief information officer.
iolo products are available through leading retailers across the United States, Canada, and the UK. 30-day downloadable trials are available at www.iolo.com.
Fake Anti-Spyware
(From LifeHacker) A lot of supposed "Anti Spyware" software is, in fact, spyware. Malicious code abounds, much of it under the guise of fixing your spyware problems. The Spyware Warrior site maintains a list of rogue and suspect anti-spyware products and websites. It’s well worth a visit.
(From Download Squad) Consumer Reports Ranks Microsoft AntiSpyware #1
"Consumer Reports has come out with antispyware rankings for the top tools in this niche, including Ad Aware SE Plus, Allume Internet Cleanup, Computer Associates eTrust PestPatrol 2005, McAfee AntiSpyware, Microsoft AntiSpyware (beta), Spybot Search & Destroy, Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2005, and Webroot Spy Sweeper. Microsoft's AntiSpyware program came out tops, even though it is still in beta status. It ranked "good" for detection, tying with Webroot and Computer Associates' offerings (none achieved a rating of "excellent" for detection), and ranked "excellent" for ease of use, something that no other AntiSpyware package in the list was able to accomplish. Although it is a prevention tool with no detection and removal functions, Javacool Software's Spyware Blaster product is notably absent from any list of top spyware protection utilities.

Although that issue still is quite relevant, it's no longer the top concern of many organizations. Today, that honor goes to how to comply with the increasing number of regulatory and compliance mandates required by the U.S. government.
