Hi, The forum has been down for a bit whilst we performed some maintenance. Hopefully once complete the issues will go away. Thanks for bearing with us MrG

The downloads are now working. Because the pages are cached it can take up to an hour for all the pages to be updated. MrG

This new v1.13 build of Recuva adds a new Deep Scan feature. It'll scan the entire hard drive for file headers and then try and reconstruct the file without using the MFT. The advantage is that it will find files on reformatted and repartitioned drives. The down side is that it can take a long time to scan. So we only recommend it if the first normal scan doesn't return the files you need. We hope you like it! Recuva v1.13.304 Added Deep Scan. Recuva can now search for files lost by the file system, which will work for reformatted and repartitioned drives. Improved speed and stability for image preview in Windows 2k/98. Several performance tweaks. Various UI tweaks and improvements. Download now from www.recuva.com View the full blog post

CCleaner doesn't touch this key, so it must be something else.

We've started by removing the adverts from the Forum and CCleaner homepage.

At Piriform we rely on site advertising (as well as donations) to pay the bills, however, we've had an increasing number of users getting confused by the adverts and thinking they're purchasing one of our products. In order to prevent this we're going to be moving and removing some of the advertising over the next few months. So we can establish a method that works optimally for both revenue and users. Whilst this may inevitably reduce our earnings, we hope it will keep our users happy and avoid confusion in the future. Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far! View the full blog post

We've had our original Piriform logo for over 2 years now. It was originally a quick placeholder design that was going to be replaced, but it ended up staying for much longer than anticipated. So we've decided that 2008 is the time to upgrade it with a professional redesign! So this: Will become this: The logo will go live over the next few days. We hope you like the change!

I would guess that the problem could be due to your mail server being slow to deliver the emails. All the emails are sent from our system on time, but unfortunately we don't have any control beyond that point. MrG

I'll get this in the next release.
