Computer Recovery Procedure

Here is a generic lost files recovery guide:

1. if your deleted files have been deleted, first opt for the “Recover Files” option;
if your hard drive has become corrupt or has been formatted, first use the “Recover Drive” option, then first go for the “automated” mode, because it has been configured for providing you with the best and fastest search feature on most recovery systems.

data that has been affected and/or erased by a virus, trojan or worm;
any file with the same name which has been saved and overwritten over another important file;
files which have gotten lost or deleted due to any other unknown reason
