Recuva

Recuva (pronounced “recover”) is a new freeware Windows file recovery tool that will unerase files that you have mistakenly deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses! Recuva is fast, small and will run from a USB drive. This software is now out of the beta testing phase so you can comfortably download it and use it in a commercial environment.

Defraggler

Defraggler is our new disk defragmentation tool. It supports all OSs from Windows 2000 onwards, and is one of the few portable defrag tools. This makes Defraggler a “must have” program for your computer. It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool!

This software is currently in a beta testing phase so it’s not recommend for use in a commercial environment until the final release.

Eraser is an advanced security tool (for Windows), which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. Works with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 2003 Server and DOS.

Eraser is Free software and its source code is released under GNU General Public License.

The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann’s paper “Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory” and they are selected to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.

Eraser removes data from your computer completely. You may already know that when you “format” a drive, the information is still there. The best way to completely remove data is to write over it, and this is what Eraser does. Eraser is designed for XP, Server 2003, and older Windows versions.
