Advanced Disk Recovery

Posted: March 17, 2014


The Advanced Disk Recovery is a software suite offered by SysTweak. As the name of the program suggests, its purpose is to help users recover lost files from their hard drive – however, file recovery operations are never guaranteed to work, and tools like Advanced Disk Recovery might not always deliver good results. For example, the success rate of the file recovery tasks strongly depends on factors such as:

  • How long ago was the lost file/folder deleted?
  • How much data was stored on the same hard drive partition after the deletion?
  • What was the type and size of the file?

While the Advanced Disk Recovery is capable of completing certain file recovery operations, it is important to add that you should not be misled into thinking that this utility is free-to-use. Although it might be advertised as a free file recovery option, the truth is that the trial version is the only free thing. Naturally, the trial is limited regarding features severely, and it would only allow users to scan the hard drive for files that could be recovered potentially. Last but not least, the Advanced Disk Recovery’s trial can generate a report with all files that could be recovered, as well as we the estimated chance of success. Users who wish to begin the recovery process may be asked to purchase the full version of the Advanced Disk Recovery program.

You shouldn’t pay for the Advanced Disk Recovery due to several reasons, the most important of which is the fact that the Advanced Disk Recovery’s report may display higher success rate to make it seem as if the purchase is worth every penny. The Advanced Disk Recovery is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is safe to use and can, indeed, perform the tasks it promises to its users. However, it uses questionable practices to attract the attention of potential buyers, and this is a red flag when it comes to choosing a software suite for daily use. If you wish to remove the Advanced Disk Recovery from your PC, you can do that with the help of a PC security scanner or by removing the application manually via the Windows Control Panel.
