Thanks for the quick reply. That makes sense. My install file for recuva is date 2016-06-08 and is 5.21M. I seem to remember checking a few years ago (maybe 2020) and noticed the file grew, but had the same version. When I tested it, there were many offers and other crapware, so I ignored that version and still use the smaller file from 2016. While I don't use Recuva much, it is definitely a part of my toolkit that I carry around of USB. I use CCleaner much more. Is there any 'what is new' (or change log) file for what this version improved? Thanks again!

Monthly, I check for program updates and I noticed Recuva's file size more than doubled? Why? The previous version, v1.53 build 1087 from 2016 is 5,346 kb Now I noticed the latest v1.53 build 2078 from Apr11/22 is now 11,608 kb If there was so much new code, there should be major changes. Maybe a what's new file of changes? I'm worried that there is embedded crapware inside this new installation file. Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks
