Restore files which are deleted from the recycle bin or deleted while holding down the Shift key by mistake.
Conversely, this program has another function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files.
You can use it after deletion of confidential documents, embarrassing files and so on.

You don't have to install it, so it doesn't leave any garbage in the PC.
(You can also run it from a floppy disk.)
Even if a file seems to be restored, there is no guarantee that the contents are correct.
After you run the program, please check the files.
You can probably restore it correctly if the drive has enough free space
and if it's just after deletion.
If you restore a folder, there is no guarantee that all files or folders which used to belong to the folder will be in it.
If you can't find them in it, please search and restore them one by one.
If you still can't find them, it's impossible to restore them.
It will be almost impossible to restore any deleted files if you run the complete deletion function.
To be exact, fragments of deleted files can be in last clusters of existing files or allocated and unwritten files.
(Note that this function is not suitable for TOP SECRET information.)
Even if you find the information of completely deleted files, their contents must be erased.
If you want to erase the information too, please run the function again.

When you use the restoration function, I don't think you will encounter any damage due to bugs, since the function doesn't write anything to physical sectors.
However, the complete deletion function replaces physical sectors.
Therefore, I confirmed that it worked without any problems by testing many times.
As there is a rare possibility of damage or loss, please run the function at your own risk.

In the last week I have gone to Blueyonder Broadband,and in the last week Norton Antivirus has told me in a popup yellow box that I have been hit with three virus.
A BAT.Mumu.A.worm
B w32.valla.2048
c w32.randex.d

When Norton has told me I have these virus I have done a full virus scan that has said no virus present.
Could anyone tell me if I have these virus onboard and if so the best way to get rid of them, and the best way of protecting myself I have all the critical updates for W2000 installed, also in the last week I have only opened attachments for trading statements.

TIA

Sputnik, please note that I do not use Norton Anti Virus.

It is possible for the virus scanning software to give incorrect warnings and this does sometimes happen after new files have been installed. This is because legitimate files can sometimes contain fragments that are the same as fragments of viruses. However I dont think this is as common as it used to be as most of the virus scanning software has been improved.

I use the trend housecall online virus scan when I check my machine, I suggest that you do a scan with that, if that says no infection, as your norton scan does, then I think you can be fairly sure that you are OK.

Trend housecall is at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Thanks for the reply. I went to the site you mentioned the 30 day free trial wants you to uninstall norton first, with my knowledge of computers being low I am reluctant to do this. I will try and make contact with you at Clitheroe.

Sputnik, Oh could be, I dont run Norton (or any other full time virus checker) it may well not like Norton running. I just hit the 'Scan Now' button from the page and it downs loads a small java app and runs. Hopefully catch up with you tomorrow, just look for an aging bald short fat bloke and that will be me!

It will be like looking in a mirror:-)

Another broadband question!

BT have enabled our exchange so I can get BB at work (and home is getting it in Feb 04 - wayhay!!!). When I look, it says 30 for one user, 70 for 2 (business use). Surely it can be connected to one machine then across the (small) network we have without paying 70 a month. Or am I missing something?

Tia.

You're missing that BT would like you to think that you need their business solution if you are running a network, but you're quite right, with a router or internet connection sharing you don't. However they will probably insist on you not using their home solution for business use. The business solution does have a better contention ratio (30:1) than the home one (50:1) but that is not yet of any practical value since there are not yet enough people using broadband.

I would advise against using BT which are more expensive and slower than other suppliers. Pipex is 23.44 a month for home use, see http://www.pipex.net, and also Plusnet, Nildram, Eclipse and Zen which are top of the speed polls. Look at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ for user feedback, comparisons and a lot more.

Thanks Kayak, Brilliant reply - all the info I need and more. I suspected as much. The BT home and the business solutions are the same price for one user, however I had thought that I would look to a different supplier anyway but need to get my head around how broadband works. NTL are dominant here with cable but they wanted 100 per month business use !!!

Business is actually 20:1 contention not 30:1 and the CPE devices in the Exchnage have a much bigger pipe from the exchange to BT's ATM backbone, so you're connection to the Net is much less likely to get throttled. Also as business's tend to do 20:1, and they do not share the same exchange connection with home users, you will find that in the evening when you want use the web you pretty much have it all to yourself.

For info. the 50:1 contention is nothing to do with the service provider. It's related to how many people connect to the same CPE in the Exchange in your area. A good rule of thumb is if you're area has cable then most user's will be on that so you are less likely to see contention creeping in. If you are in a built up area where broadband has been around for a while and there is no cable then you will notice things slow down especially in the evenings.

Seymour ... my 2Mb business Adsl is only 78 inc.vat per month. 512k is normally around 37.50inc vat so in the scheme of things only 12 more a month than the 50:1 service.

Thanks Technet, what I didn't make clear is that the business is my own, we have three sites some miles away from each other which I want on broadband so can have am "always on" but in the evenings I go home so come Feb I'll be able to have broadband there as well - presently have two lines at home, one a dedicated dial up internet connection but sometimes can't get on between 8-10pm. Also intending to be able to connect to my work machines from home.

Thanks for the responses. Time to trawl google and find general background out.

Seymour - if you use Draytek or Cisco routers in each site you and set up a secure VPN over broadband to each of them making them seem as one big network.

Thanks Technet, was wondering about something like that. We are in the process of looking at new software so this needs to be taken into account when choosing our s/w. Oh, and we use dedicated software, can't get anything off the shelf :-(

Edit I feel like I'm at the beginning of a big exciting adventure into the world of broadband. Thanks for all the info. It is quite a minefield so this sort of help has pointed me in the right direction and saved me a lot of time.

Hi, can anyone help.. Can I set up Outlook Express to do automatically dial up to send and recieve messages/ e mails, and then disconnect. Like the AOL flash sessions? Its NTL Dial Up. I have broadband with BT but want to keep my e mail address which I have organised with them. I can recieve to my NTL e-mail through BT broadband. But it won't let me send or auto forward.

david2000, send your messages through the BT server, but in Tools/Accounts for the BT account, specify your NTL email address and not the BT one. The messages should be sent looking as though they are coming from NTL. This trick works for most but not all ISPs, but I used to have BT ADSL and as far as I remember it worked with them. So when you send/receive on your BT connection you will be receiving on the NTL account and sending on the BT account.

I've just taken the basic BT Braoadband package Kayak. So no e mail account. I hoped IE had a flash session but cant find it. Thanks anyway Kayak

You don't need an email account with BT, david 2000. Just set up an account in Outlook Express, specifying your NTL address as the email address, mail.btopenworld.com as the pop and smtp servers, and Bob's your uncle.

Kayak's sea of knowledge makes mine look like a puddle.
