The risks posed by accidental data deletion, as more and more people exclusively use PCs to maintain their most valuable documents, including family photos and video, extensive music collections, even crucial work files, can represent a true personal catastrophe. By the fact that easy-to-use software exists and can instantly restore precious documents and irreplaceable digital photos they feared were gone forever, many people who lose files aren't aware.

The release of a new, even easier-to-use version of its top-selling Search and Recover™ software, which allows even non-expert users to quickly recover accidentally deleted files even years after the data was lost has been announced today by iolo technologies, to prevent this frustrating, yet reversible data loss from imperiling users' important files, today announced.

Including improved recovery algorithms, which rescue even more lost files than previous versions, this latest version of Search and Recover offers users several new features. Expanded file-type and media support, making recovery of specific file types, such as video, music, photo, or work files more efficient are other features included. Giving even the least-expert user more control over the recovery process, even from cameras, and flash, FireWire, USB, and thumb drives, Search and Recover 5 also offers a new interface.

As well as on the iolo technologies website, Search and Recover 5 is available in Staples, OfficeMax, Fry's, Amazon and online at Buy.com. Including security must-haves iolo AntiVirus™ and Personal Firewall™, plus military-strength secure file deletion utility DriveScrubber®, as well as the top selling PC tune-up software, iolo's award-winning System Mechanic®, which can reverse even years of system-clogging damage to bring computers back to like-new performance, it's also available as part of iolo's System Mechanic Professional® software suite.
