Question:

Can FinalData recover files from a hard disk infected by the Worm, CIH or Explorer.zip virus?

Answer:

Yes, all FinalData versions can recover data from a disk that is affected by the Worm virus, as well as the CIH and the Explorer.zip viruses. These viruses tend to destroy all directory information such as FAT, file information, including file size and extension.
FinalData perfroms data recovery by reconstructing file information after analyzing the  data that is still available on the drive.
