Free file recovery/undelete software

[frugal_fanboy]

I looked it up on the website and apparently it's 44 MB for this reason:

From the post:

FlashCrest Undelete is 43.9 MB because it includes something called the .NET Framework - a Microsoft Windows component required by most modern applications.

Have you ever installed a program only to find out that it needs to download a bunch of other things from the Internet? That annoys us and we know that not every machine has an active Internet connection, so we included these large and necessary files to ensure that our users are 100% satisified!

But this makes no sense. The program has been downloaded from a machine with an active internet connection, so why unnecessarily bundle .NET of all things with it? What about machines with a slow internet connection who are now forced to download 40+Mb of something they may well already have? At the very least, make an unbundled installer available.

Seems like you're doing a lot of work defending this software..

So now the question is... You and FlashCrest are ???

stratusdodge is affiliated with FlashCrest (see their Forums eg. http://flashcrest.com/support/forums...ead.php?tid=10), which really makes this whole thread very close to violating the RFD rules regarding "No spamming and/or advertising" http://forums.redflagdeals.com/hot-d...ept-13-10.html

I can't see anything there other than two comments by breeze. What were you basing your conclusion on ie what did stratusdodge delete? When I click on member list, it says "The member list functionality has been disabled by the Administrator." I have huge issues with people who post pretending to be a costumer/user of a product when in fact they are the owner or somehow affiliated. So if you can prove it frugal_fanboy, please do so. Although I think the fact that stratusdodge hasn't responded to these accusations, speaks volumes.

LOL. So they updated their forum handle from stratusdodge to Breeze. Why they are trying to hide their affiliation is beyond me. Given the other shenanigans that have been going on, I have a lovely screenshot of the original thread, and here it is!

Excellent job re the post..

Now is this software any good? I have not use such programs, but one never knows when one might want to.

I tested it against the free Easeus version:

and found the Easeus one better. just my 2 cents

Good job frugal_fanboy

This whole thread was very suspicious from the beginning!!!

At this point, people who download and install this program are really taking chances.

stratusdodge, is now hiding his affiliation with this company, for what reason?

Why can't he step up to the plate and say that it is something HE was offering for free.

Something is seriously wrong here!!!

[stratusdodge]

Hurry, offer expires July 31st 2012! That's tomorrow!

[stratusdodge]

Uh-oh! Offer expires today! One last chance to get in on this once-in-a-lifetime offer!
