Ignore Born Yesterday - Version: 4.0.10, 8/18/2009 01:54AM PST

Ignore this moron named Born Yesterday, who apparently enjoys writing negative reviews to destroy innocent software developers. This extortionist is known to give a one star when he cannot crack the application with Apple's free debugger himself or when he cannot find a pirated copy. This guy goes by the name of MacTechHead at MacUpdate to run the same series of negative campaigns to destroy software developers.

I wouldn't trust this as far as I could throw the developer, their server and the foolish way this scam software works.
Recovery via internet has got to be the stupidest method of data recovery I have ever seen being used.
Then the pricing structure is a pure scam just like another data recovery program uses.
If you can't recovery your data with Drive Genius 2, FileSalvage, Stellar Phoenix or DiskTools Pro, then save your money in desperation for a real data recovery specialist with a clean room instead of lame scams like this software because the price will be about the same then!

1) it's listed as "shareware", but "hijackware" might be more appropriate, since you have to pay for each and every gig of data that you recover, each and every time. not my idea of "shareware".
2) all data flows via their server. (the "free recovery software" is only the client.) if this bothers you, don't use it.
3) it didn't even see my external firewire device (intel imac in target mode), even though finder, data rescue II, disk warrior, file salvage, all had no problem seeing and working with it.
4) i didn't like the install procedure (standard installer script, but it puts the app in a VERY stupid and not-so-obvious folder), or the sudden spike in internet traffic. and the uninstall (a very unsophisticated terminal shell script) made me extremely nervous. (it seems harmless, but i had to read it in textedit to be sure, because that's exactly how trojans get into your machine.)
<b>conclusion: it did nothing for me, on a very simple, "salvage the trashed files", recovery.</b>
