7.6.4.3 Alert settings
Specify whether Try&Decide should alert you when it uses up all the space allotted for saving virtual
changes and after a specified time period has elapsed. By default the Alert is On.
The following options are available:
On free disk space remaining - using this option, the program automatically checks the amount
of free space left on the disk used by Try&Decide with values that you specify. If the amount of
free space becomes less than the specified value, the program displays a notification message.
On time elapsed since Try&Decide started - using this option, the program will notify you if
Try&Decide has been working for longer than the period of time you specified.
Having specified the alert settings, click OK.
7.6.5 Try&Decide: typical use cases
The Try&Decide feature can help you in various circumstances, for example:
Software testing
There are known cases when installation of antivirus software cripples functionality of some
applications or they may even refuse to launch after antivirus installation. The Try&Decide utility can
help you to avoid such a problem. You may proceed as follows:
Download a trial version of the antivirus software from the Web site of the vendor whose
product you wish to try.
Turn on the Try mode.
Install the antivirus software.
Try to work with the applications installed on your computer performing your usual tasks.
If everything works without any snags, you can be reasonably sure that there will be no
incompatibility problems and can buy the antivirus software.
If you encounter any problems, discard the changes in your system caused by installing the
antivirus and try antivirus software from another vendor. The new attempt might turn out to be
successful.
File recovery
You have accidentally deleted some files and then emptied the Recycle Bin. Then you have
remembered that the deleted files contained important data and now you are going to try to
undelete them using the appropriate software. However, sometimes you may do something wrong
while trying to recover deleted files, making things worse than before trying to recover them. So you
can proceed as follows:
Turn on the Try mode.
Launch the file undelete utility.
After the utility scans your disk in search of the deleted file or folder entries, it will present you
the deleted entries it has found (if any) and offer you the opportunity to save whatever it can
recover. There is always a chance that you might pick the wrong file and while recovering it the
utility may overwrite the very file you are trying to recover. If not for the Try&Decide, this error
would be fatal and the file would be lost irretrievably.
