Easy Disk Drive Repair is a disk repair utility for Windows PCs.

Easy Disk Drive Repair is one of those utilities you probably didn't know you need. You will eventually encounter drive problems in the life of your computer, and it's nice to be able to have a program that can fix those issues. Even if all you're dealing with is some minor slow down, you might find that this program is exactly what you need to alleviate the problem. Since it's free and easy to use, it seems to be an obvious download for most users.

There is one big strike against this program, and it's one that can't be ignored. The program has been reported to be a carrier of malware. Although there's no confirmation of this fact, there have been enough reports that it seems likely. The program also updates constantly, so it's difficult to tell if any new spyware has been added to the program. This makes the software very unsafe to use, especially if you don't constantly update your own antivirus protection. It's never good when a program carries such a negative stigma, even if there is no hard proof of the problems.

In the end, anything good that might come from this program is really negated by the fact that it might contain spyware. Yes, the reports are unverified, but the constant updates don't make the program look very good in the eyes of most antivirus programs. This might be a dangerous program to use, so look elsewhere. If you're absolutely sure that your computer will be safe, though, you might as well give this file a download and roll the dice. You might get lucky and avoid the problems.
