In any of these cases, the data is not easily read from the media devices. Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.Īnother scenario involves a drive-level failure, such as a compromised file system or drive partition, or a hard disk drive failure. Many Live CDs or DVDs provide a means to mount the system drive and backup drives or removable media, and to move the files from the system drive to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software. This can be accomplished using a Live CD or DVD by booting directly from a ROM instead of the corrupted drive in question. (typically, on a single-drive, single- partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive. The most common data recovery scenarios involve an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc.
#PHONERESCUE VIRUS SOFTWARE#
I was out 60 bucks, tried to ask for a refund, the "costumer service" answered me A MONTH LATER, telling they didn't see any problem with my software (and that they wipe their ass with my refund request), so I gave up on that and moved on, I tried to cancel the subscription, but there's nowhere in the webpage remotely related to that, instead you need to fill a "contact me" box with your info (mail and activation code), and hope they have mercy on you and deactivate your subscription, but that never happens. Everything looks pretty legit, and if you do a quick google search you can find some good reviews, but after doing a more thorough research (something I didn't made at the moment bc I was desperate for a solution of losing some info from my iPhone, and they freaking know that!) turns out most (if not all) reviews are fake.
#PHONERESCUE VIRUS LICENSE#
Purchased a $60.00 subscription for a personal license of a software that doesn't work, even though I followed every step they list. And for Christ sake, report this to the BBB people, because why is this company still boldly the top hit online with good reviews? Jesus. But in April, as it stands right now, I'll be getting charged another $60 for my "subscription to nothing yearly renewal" from paddle.ĭon't buy this thing. Okay, so this goes on like this for a really long time, and my thumbs are tired. They are super concerned and blind carbon copy imobie right away to figure out what's up. So you screenshot that and send it back to paddle. Paddle happily sends you a link that your virus protection software identifies as a highly dangerous identity theft virus. So then you offer to assist "Paddle" in gaining their attention and you ask for their super secret contact info.


Then one day you freak out and send like, 900 emails, and Sarah and Bill and Christy and James are all really super sorry and they all blind carbon copy the crap out of your emails, but dang it, imobie just doesn't even give a peep of attention. Ones on for six months of your year long $60 subscription.

So "Paddle" let's you know that their stupid rep is super sorry that their merchant messed up, and that they have blind carbon copied this email to the merchant, and the merchant is going to get in touch with you any time. (It definitely isn't Jen or Carl or John, though, just in case you're wondering) Each email is promptly responded to by a person who is *just* coherent and apologetic enough to convince you that even though it is a different rep every email, it's not a bot.
#PHONERESCUE VIRUS PASSWORD#
They tell you that your password is your email.

So, You purchase the software online from imobie, then "Paddle" is who charges you $60 for two emails that do not contain clear installation instructions, and a fake license key. I cannot believe this company hasn't been shut down, and that their fake reviews are still the majority of what you will initially find when doing a quick search.
