Recuva v1.13.304

Filed under: Recuva @ 12:51 PM

This new v1.13 build of Recuva adds a Deep Scan feature. It'll scan the entire hard drive for file headers and then try and reconstruct the file without using the MFT. The advantage is that it will find files on reformatted and repartitioned drives. The down side is that it can take a long time to scan. So we only recommend it if the first normal scan doesn't return the files you need.
We hope you like it! :)

Recuva v1.13.304
  • Added Deep Scan. Recuva can now search for files lost by the file system, which will work for reformatted and repartitioned drives.
  • Improved speed and stability for image preview in Windows 2k/98.
  • Several performance tweaks.
  • Various UI tweaks and improvements.

Advertising

Filed under: Piriform @ 1:13 PM

At Piriform we rely on site advertising (as well as donations) to pay the bills, however, we've had an increasing number of users getting confused by the adverts and thinking they're purchasing one of our products.

In order to prevent this we're going to be moving and removing some of the advertising over the next few months. So we can establish a method that works optimally for both revenue and users. Whilst this may inevitably reduce our earnings, we hope it will keep our users happy and avoid confusion in the future.

Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far!

New Logo for 2008

Filed under: Piriform @ 11:20 AM

We've had our original Piriform logo for over 2 years now. It was originally a quick placeholder design that was going to be replaced, but it ended up staying for much longer than anticipated. So we've decided that 2008 is the time to upgrade it with a professional redesign!

So this:

Will become this:

The logo will go live over the next few days. We hope you like the change! :)
