Computer 911 - Data Recovery Services
Computer data is highly perishable. Some information can be
lost by shutting down the computer. Other data can be lost by
any activity on the computer. Just looking around can hide some evidence. Immediate initial steps are critical
and must be guided by the situation. Data is increasingly likely to
be lost the longer the computer is used.
IT departments use a different set of tools to maintain and image computer hard drives. IT department drive images are rarely forensic quality and can easily destroy important information.
Contact a professional for assistance. Any non-forensic attempts to copy the drive, assess the damage or recover files will destroy evidence.
If you suspect computer misuse or that its contents have been tampered with , stop using the computer immediately. Shut it off. Then
contact us for assistance. Any attempts to assess the damage or recover files will cover the tracks of
the perpetrator and make it much more difficult to recover missing files.
If you suspect that your computer has been subjected to electronic
intrusion, do not shut the computer off. Disconnect it from the
network. Then contact us for assistance. There may be active
data in memory that could help identify the intruder. Disconnecting
the computer from the internet prevents further compromise of data.
If anything has been accidentally deleted, it will remain on the
hard drive until it is overwritten. Stop using the computer immediately. Shut it off. Then
contact us for assistance. Continued use will
eventually obscure the data you want to recover.
