Diskfresh, getting download warnings

[Samistine]

Windows is giving me a corrupt signature warning. First time I've ever seen such a message.

Maybe they're downloads have been infected?

Spoiler

Potential Virus

You don't need that software. It won't help you at all.

What are you trying to do? That sonfware won't help your system at all.

Keeping write once, read never (except for use in recovery) data from rotting on magnetic storage. I'm talking about over several years of non access.

Thanks for posting the link, got a REALLY good laugh out of that. Its just trolling, hard drives aren't analogue and rewriting everything is just going to eat up read/write cycles for nothing. (you need to CHANGE the data to refresh, thats the opposite what they are advertising )

If you want to do that, use something like REFS(built into windows 2012+ and 8+) or zfs or btrfs or afps. With this software it has no idea if the file is correct, but with thes file systems they know if the file is bad by using checksums, and will fix it if your have 2 or more copies(raid). This software won't help with corruption at all. This also isn't really a problem on tapes(but tapes aren't really worth it unless you want to spend the 2k+ on the drives)
