Data protection and personal information

Thanks! What is it you would or could say about this software that makes it superior to the others in it's class in your opinion?

All these tools are pretty simple/basic actually... As someone said, start with the free ones and if there's something you're unable to recover, then try some of the paid ones. I recently tried one called GetDataBack and worked great

The wording of your post here indicates that some of the paid ones will do a better job of digging out stuff that the free ones won't. If that's the case, I'd prefer to just start with the better programs. I'm not afraid to spend money to get better products and tools to work with, within reason, which is why I said "consumer grade" - I just need to know what those tools are.

Well, I'm no expert in these kind of programs, but I think free products will get your files back 99% of the times if nothing special (as in really bad) happened to your drive or you didn't overwrite the old data with new one. That's why I suggested to try the free ones first. But it's obvious this is a great tool to have at hand just in case something happens, so it makes sense to get one of the best paid options and just forget about it. Unfortunately, I don't know enough as to recommend any.

I don't use it, but have recommended it to several friends and they have had good success. I have other options and you really don't want to know what those options cost. For the price you would pay you could probably send your daughter back to Italy so she could retake the photos.

LOL! Fair enough!

Also check out ccleaner while you are there. Good tool everyone ought to have.

I agree... CCleaner is good tool! Just be careful what you remove with it... lol!

BleachBit is better, IMO. Seems to find more stuff.
