Advanced EFS Data Recovery (or simply AEFSDR) is an application to recover (decrypt) files encrypted on NTFS (EFS) drives that are made in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista.

Files are being decrypted even in a case when the system is not bootable and so you cannot log on, and/or some encryption keys have been tampered. Besides, decryption is possible even when Windows is protected using SYSKEY.

Advanced EFS Data Recovery effectively (and instantly) decrypts the files protected under all versions Windows Server 2003 (Standard and Enterprise), Windows XP (including Service Packs 1 and 2), Windows 2000 (including Service Packs 1, 2, 3 and 4) and Windows Vista.

Requirements:

· Administrator privileges (for direct disk access).


Limitations:

· 30 days trial
· An unregistered (trial) version of Advanced EFS Data Recovery decrypts only first 512 bytes of all files, padding the rest of content with zeros (the source/encrypted files remain untouched).
