Data Recovery
Someone was looking for data recovery software a while back. There
is a very good program available free for one day at Glarysoft's give away site. 5-8-14 Snag it if you can now because there's no telling when it will be offered again. ^_^ http://giveaway.glarysoft.com/grtdatarecoveryv2.1-778/ TDD |

Did you look at the readme included with that download ? There's a key there , probably one that identifies the user as one that got the free download . It also says you have to activate it before the giveaway period is over . Bet a lot of folks did like me , got it with the idea of sitting on it until I need it . Now I need to ddecide whether to go ahead and load it , anand decide if I want to do it on all my comps . Thing is , I've never needed a program of this type , and I'm not so sure there isn't a hook somewhere in there ... -- Snag |

Backdoor.Win32.Swz.hb That's one of the reasons I stay away from these daily free offer sites. I can find other programs that are free and do not require one to jump through hoops to register, have limitations, etc. I can find programs in other places. Some are open source and free to the public. Just me, though. |

The GRT Data Recovery program told me that the USB memory card I had with the corrupted FAT was a 0 Megabyte disk and it couldn't find ANY files on it at all. I never unzipped the GRT Data Recovery Installation program in my business computer. I only downloaded the grtdatarecoveryv2.1.zip file, copied that file to another USB memory stick and used that memory stick to load the .zip file onto my surfing computer. And, everything else I did was on the surfing computer. If this program carries a virus, is it possible that I now have a virus on my business computer? Or, would I have had to have unzipped the program and/or run the installation program on my business computer before there was any risk of getting a virus on my business computer? |

In the ReadMe file in the GRT Data Recovery folder in the Programs folder, it says:
REGISTRATION ----------------------------------------------------------------- In order to register please do the following - select Register menu item from (Help) menu - In the dialog window insert registration code into Serial number field and click Ok button I have my registration code, but I can't find a Help menu anywhere. Does anyone know where that Help menu is supposed to be? The program executable doesn't have any tool bar at all. |

I'v had no problems with software from either site because the people who run them have a good reputation and scan for malware anything they offer. If something were wrong, they would immediately take it down and let everyone know. I have seen false positives for a virus in a lot software especially if it must get into system files in order to function. I just downloaded and installed the software which updated the version that I already have. I have other GRT software on my system and have never had a problem with it. I just did a deep scan with Avast Antivirus and IObit Malware Fighter and there was no threat detected. I do trust the the two sites I use and install their offerings on multiple computers which are running different brands of antimalware software. Glarysoft actually produces system cleaning software so I doubt they would offer anything infected with a virus. ^_^ http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ http://giveaway.glarysoft.com/ TDD |

I ran a check with another antimalware/antivirus software after reading your post. The software is "Malwarebytes". When I ran it, the scan showed everything I knew was on my system such as a key-logger that I purposely installed. There were all sorts of other things that I either used like some nefarious hacking tools or stuff I already have blocked.

The fact that an antivirus/antimalware app displays an alarm for a software application that is harmless is a good thing because it lets you know it's working. You can always submit the suspicious exe's and DLL's to several sites that catalog virus and malware software. The sites are not "hacker or cracked software" sites where there is software that often has malicious content added in to the program. ^_^ TDD |

It's not unusual for some software to get a "false positive" for a virus from some antivirus software. It's not a hacker site for cracked software which often contains a virus. I've downloaded and installed a lot of software from the site and have never gotten a virus from it. ^_^ TDD |

My problem with this software is that I KNOW that I have a corrupted USB flash memory drive and there are two trial data recovery programs that DID find the files I'd thought I'd lost. This program not only couldn't find them, it couldn't even tell that it was a 4GB USB flash memory drive. It reported to me that it was a 0 MB USB flash memory drive, whatever that means. |

I've posted links here that folks say they got a virus alert (twice) and Bob F claimed he spent hours fixing his system. Others here said the links worked for them and no alerts for the same link. Bob F never said how his system works or if he allows cross link scripting. I've put software on that folks say have cooties. They worked for me and are cootie free. False Cootie Alerts. |
