Sorry for the lateness of this post – just got a chance to look at the app in more depth. The installation was more than I anticipated, taking longer & doing more than I expected. That’s because it installed the Windows 7 NFS client (?) (!). You can see it & uninstall if you want via Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. wikipedia[.]org/wiki/Network_File_System
Starting iBoysoft Data Recovery also takes much longer than expected. During that time the app tries & finally succeeds communicating with 104.26.1.128 – an address hosted by Cloudflare that just shows restricted when you try to go there in a web browser. It opens 9 processes using local ports 111, 1058, 2049, 49208, 49209. A few of those ports are named “sunrpc” – a remote procedure call by Sun Microsystems -- wikipedia[.]org/wiki/Open_Network_Computing_Remote_Procedure_Call . Another few of those ports are named “nfsd” – “The nfsd filesytem is a special filesystem which provides access to the Linux NFS server” -- linux.die[.]net/man/7/nfsd . Eventually communication is established on local port 2049, named nfsd, local address 127.0.0.1, remote port 943, remote address 127.0.0.1 – local port 49208, Local Address 10.0.2.15, Remote Port 80, remote address 104.26.1.128 – local port 49209, Local Address 10.0.2.15, Remote Port 443, Remote Address 104.26.1.128.
I did not see any data transfers after that with the app sitting idle, but that doesn’t say much IMHO. With the NFS drivers & associated files added the Schema registry hive was more or less rewritten, with 70038 new registry entries – with that amount I can’t say what was in those added entries. Usually I’d assume it was nothing to worry about, but usually you don’t get stuff like NFS installed, or 9 processes opening 5 ports.
