iMyFone has been kind enough to give our readers a chance to win a copy of their AnyRecover program. They have generously given us five licenses for this giveaway contest. There is a free trial version of this program available but it will only recover three files. Basically, this is provided to give you an idea of how well the software will work for you.

Offer recovery support for over 1000 different formats including pictures, images, videos, documents, audio files, emails, and archives.

Recover files from critical data loss from all mediums: Digital Cameras, Memory Cards, Camcorders, Mobile Phones, Flash Drives, Hard Drives, etc.

Recover the lost files without overwriting any other files, thereby 100% protecting other files from being overwritten. ~ iMyFone

Feature List

There are many instances where accidental deletion of important files can be devastating. Here is a short list of some of the ways AnyRecover can save your bacon during these dire times:

• Accidental file deletion
• Recycle Bin deletion
• Accidental drive format
• Partition loss
• External drive recovery
• Data loss due to Virus/Malware
• Operating System failure

These are only a few nasty scenarios where data recovery software can come to the rescue.

Ease Of Use

AnyRecover is very easy to use. It is basically a three-step process:

1. Choose the type of recovery you would like to perform
2. Choose the types of files you would like to recover
3. Recover the ones you’ve chosen

Main Screen

This screen is what you’ll see when you first run AnyRecover. For the purposes of this exercise I chose to run Deleted Files Recovery.

Choose Location Screen

I chose my Games folder. I figured there would be lots of stray stuff left behind by Steam. Files get deleted and replaced here all the time.

Choose File Types

I chose all file types for this article. I was curious how many AnyRecover would find and how long it would take to run the scan. I was not to be disappointed in either case.

• If you decide to change settings, you can click the little Home icon in the upper-left corner. This will bring you back to the Main Screen
• You can choose All File Types or you can select specific ones at this point
• If you want to go back one step only, you can click the little Back Arrow icon in the lower-left corner of the window
• If you are happy with your selections, click the Scan button in the lower-right corner of the window

Scan Results

I’ve used data recovery programs in the past and my experience has been that the scans took quite some time to complete. AnyRecover found over 1100 files in about 10 seconds– astounding!!

There’s a little link at the bottom of this window suggesting that you try All-Round Recovery if you haven’t found the specific files you are looking for. I went ahead and clicked it and AnyRecover started running what appears to be a “deep scan” and this did take longer, but it was still only about four minutes. It found many more files this time around and four minutes is nothing compared to other programs I’ve used which will sometimes take an hour or better.

Conclusions ?

Judging from my limited experience with this program it would seem that AnyRecover is not only easy to use, but is also lightning fast. There was only one odd bit of behavior that I can’t understand. The AnyRecover program opened on my third monitor and there was no way to move it. I couldn’t move it to another monitor nor could I “grab” it in any way. Very strange, indeed. Perhaps iMyFone will address this in a forthcoming patch?

Other than that small quirk, I can recommend AnyRecover without hesitation.
