GEEPS is data rescue software pre-loaded on a flash drive. The software is designed to be used by the average consumer, not a technician. Similar software has been in use by computer technicians for years to gain access to a computer that has a malfunctioning operating system, is password protected, or is otherwise inaccessible. The software used by technicians required installation and configuration, and was beyond the capabilities of the average computer user.

What makes GEEPS unique is its ability to run without user intervention on any PC built since 1998. A CD ROM version of the software will work on older computers that do not fully support the USB standard. Any user can insert the GEEPS flash drive, turn the computer on, and with minimal or no intervention the computer will start with GEEPS? custom operating system. This allows the end user to access photos, music, and other files even when Windows is unable to start.

Malware, virus, registry corruption and many more circumstances prevent pc’s from ?booting.? Even if the hard drive is damaged, GEEPS will start the computer, and will help the user confirm they have a failed hard drive.

GEEPS currently comes in 2-, 32- and 64-gigabyte capacities, as well as the CD, which requires the user to provide their own external storage. All GEEPS units will support additional external drives. When a GEEPS flash drive is inserted into a running Windows or MAC computer, the data that was rescued is displayed for the user to access.

Besides rescuing data, GEEPS performs another critical function – it erases data on a hard drive. When a Windows user deletes data, the operating system removes the indexes, or pointers to the data, but leaves all the data on the drive. While impossible for the user to get to their data again, someone who knows computers can get to it. So technicians that know how can retrieve data from a Windows computer even after the data was ?deleted?. GEEPS actually erases data, writing binary 0?s to each sector of a drive, overwriting the data which had been there before. This is a critical feature in today?s identity theft economy, where over $21B in identity theft related crime occurred in 2013.
