No more corrupt files

File Repair is a useful tool for repairing files that have been corrupted.

Has a virus destroyed some of your files? What about a network interruption or another unforeseen event? Antivirus programs can locate and eradicate malware on your computer, but you'll probably need another tool to help you attempt to repair corrupted files.

File Repair is one of those tools. With a very simple interface, most users will find File Repair easy to navigate and use. Essentially what the program does is scan files on your PC that are in some way damaged and creates a new, usable file where it can extract as much of the recovered data as possible.

File Repair works with corrupted Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, as well as Access databases, Zip or RAR archives, images, PDF documents, videos and even some music files. Files that your computer says are not in a recognizable format, that are unable to be read or accessed and ones where the application in question can't open the file type are what File Repair has the best chances of fixing.

In fact, the only real complaint some users might have about File Repair is that the interface is quite plain. Some of the files also take a good amount of time to scan, and some might not be able to be fixed at all.

File Repair is a handy piece of freeware that'll help repair corrupted files.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
