With a product name as specifically enticing as today's, I'm surprised the developer has gone for a domestic home-user audience instead of security and law enforcement agencies.

Forensic recovery of over-written HDD data blocks is a time-consuming and expensive business; electron microscopes ain't cheap. At $18.63 retail, this uneraser of erased data is an astonishing bargain. Even at $1,863 retail it would be sought by all the above-mentioned. Actually: $18,630 would still suit the FBI's budget just fine.

I'm almost tempted to DL and try to unerase that which has been erased from my hard drive. Almost tempted to find, in the wealth of verbiage penned by this developer, a single solitary example of an erased file or folder being recovered by Uneraser 3.9. It's tempting, too, to check out the version history of Uneraser from 1.0 to the present because a product's evolution says everything about its progressive refinement.

Instead though, because I'm short of time, I'll leave the developer to come on here and tell me how $18sworth of software can feasibly attempt what even $100,000sworth of electron deep-scan forensic hardware has no guarantee of achieving.

Meantime, if need arises today for me to recover an inadvertently deleted file or folder from my hard drive, I'll use Piriform's always-free Recuva. It doesn't promise to un-erase anything, but at least seems to manage things rather better than Uneraser 3.9:

"Unfortunately, this program isn't capable of recovering the files you lost after the storage device was damaged or infected, the disk was formatted, or the Recycle Bin's items were deleted." (Ashley Griggs, Software Informer):

Though I take my hat off to Hetman for linking from its own website's "Expert Reviews: Reputed computer publications and data recovery laboratories recommend using our software. See the independent experts' opinion" to a, er, recommendation which demolishes its own product, I'm not going to be able to un-erase from my mind the notion that this software isn't ever going to do what it says on the tin -- and that if it can't even live up to its own self-description, then no 6-month trial is going to alter that.

Thanks, GOTD, and Hetman. But no thanks.

TK, Only, they did not name it Undelete, did they? they have named it Uneraser which is exactly the point MikeR had made

Hmm...this thing can't even recover items deleted from the recycle bin? I had a high school coding project that could do that. Should be a fundamental capability for any un-eraser.

Got ''Installer Integrity Check Failed'' message - never seen that before. Any fix? Also downloaded it from their website but doesn't register with the GOTD key.

Danielle Lusignan, yes because the very last line in the description states:

"Please note, the program includes a half year license!"

so if we are being short changed by being given an extended trial of it then it's no great suprise they short change us even further by making the license under half of 365 days! by calculating a month equals exactly 30 days when there are more at 31 days than less than 30 days...
