No matter what exactly caused a file or multiple files to disappear, Recuva is likely to be able to handle the predicament and restore the information that seems lost for good. The latter scenario has been on the rise over the past several years – when a ransom Trojan attack a PC, it encrypts one’s personal files, keeps these scrambled objects on the HDD, and deletes the original entries. In particular, certain fragments of data may vanish from the hard drive due to accidental manual deletion by the user, sudden system crashes, or the impact of crypto ransomware. The usefulness of file recovery tools revolves around things like human error, hardware malfunctions, as well as incidents where a Windows computer has been compromised by malicious code. Recuva, a lightweight freeware applet by Piriform, is one of the world’s most effective solutions aimed at reviving deleted data.
