"Excellent software. Many very useful features. Highly recommended."

by habermas on November 30, 2005

Pros: Very effective tool. I like that it provides the user with continuous feedback as to what is is doing, what it is finding, and so on, and gives the user the option of correcting any problems BEFORE anything is deleted (and provides a way to retrieve things that may have been deleted that you later realize you still need). With many similar products, you can't tell that the software is even working because it does everything in the background. I also like the new interface for the most part.

Cons: Some minor problems with the quality of the graphics in the new interface.
