If your client has a computer, there is a need for “Computer Forensics”. The computer has invaded our very existence, became a part of our lives, and is an integral part of almost every investigation.

Computer Forensics differs from data recovery, which is, recovery of data after an event affecting the physical data, such as a hard drive crash. Computer forensics goes much further. Computer forensics is a complete computer examination with analysis as the ultimate goal.

This means not only recovering deleted files (documents, graphics, etc.), but also searching the slack and unallocated space on the hard drive, places where a plethora of evidence regularly resides. It is tracing Windows artifacts, those tidbits of data left behind by the operating system, for clues of what the computer has been used for, Computer Forensics for Private Investigators and, more importantly, knowing how to find the artifacts, and evaluating the value of information. Forensic examinations allow the processing of hidden files, files that are not visible or accessible to the user, files that contain past usage information. It is reconstructing and analyzing the date codes for each file and determining when each file was created, last modified, last accessed and when deleted.

Computer forensics is being able to run a string-search for e-mail, when no e-mail client is obvious. An analysis will reveal Internet usage, recover data, and accomplish a full analysis even after the computer has been defragged and/or formatted. It is using industry-standard methodology, and supplying you with a concise written report.
