Starus File Recovery Description
Files on your hard disk drive are constantly at risk of being infected by malicious software whether or not you are using an antivirus. Moreover, you might become the villain by accidentally deleting important files. Luckily, specialized applications like Starus File Recovery gives you the possibility to bring back anything that can’t be dug up in Recycle Bin.
Use a wizard or manually locate deleted items
Each time you run the application, you are asked whether or not you want to make use of a wizard for a more efficient task. You can choose to ignore this prompt and not have it brought up again from the options menu.
In case you continue, a few steps guide you through the whole process. You are required to set up a few details in order for the application to know where and what to look for.
An alternative is to close the wizard and do things your way. The main window is similar to an explorer, with a side panel providing quick access to all available directories, while the center area offers a more detailed view on the content. By default, both existing and deleted files are displayed, with the possibility to apply a filter that only shows one of the file state.
Quickly find and recover files
Regardless of your choice, it is only a matter of time before deleted files are found and restored to a provided location.
Using the wizard, you are able to select only particular file types to be included in the scan process. Even though the result is displayed fast, you spend most of the time looking for the exact file in the last window, due to the lack of a search field.
Files are displayed in a list and you are only able to filter by name, size, type, which makes a specific file slightly difficult to find if, for example, you need one particular text document.
The alternative is incredibly easy to use and efficient, in case you know the file path you can manually access the specific directory and recover lost items. Moreover, an integrated search engine is provided to further ease the process.
In conclusion
To sum it up, Starus File Recovery is a keeper. You never know when your disk drive gets infected, damaged, or you just delete files for no reason and suddenly realize you made a mistake. Provided tools make sure that deleted files are found in the blink of an eye, and the recover process only takes less.
