1. Cannot preview files or some files appear as messy code?
Firstly, you can only preview found images and office files. So far, the software does not support to preview video files, audio files, etc. If the file appears as messy code when you attempt to preview it, probably the file is corrupted since it has been overwritten or damaged by virus infection.
2. Files do not show original name?
Some users say that the files do not show original name after scanning. It is very inconvenient to find the file they need because the filenames have been changed. The reason for this problem is that the scanning is not completed. Many users do not wait patiently before the scanning is finished automatically. They would like to cancel the scanning in the process in order to save time. If so, they may still find all lost files they need, but the found files do not show original name. It is necessary to wait patiently before scanning is over in order to find all files with original filename.
