I just ran an software program called recuva which as the name suggest recovers deleted files from your computer. I was searching for some naked pics of myself I had deleted some time ago. However I was quite surprised to see it found several hundred nude pics I had never seen before, no idea where they came from or how they came to be on my PC.

I do know for certain I never downloaded / saved any of them. Handy little program though and free, google for it might save some embarrassment if your pc is being repaired.

    Just got this info from PC News about it -

    Pros -
    Free, easy-to-use undeleting; includes secure-delete feature. Portable version runs from USB stick.


    Cons -
    Not as powerful as for-purchase alternatives; reports files as "unrecoverable" that are still on the hard disk in the same location.


    Bottom Line -
    Install this now before you need to undelete files, but be prepared to buy a more powerful alternative.
