Version 3 has one, and you can build your own. 
But the general handling of Data Rescue is far away from a Mac "look'n feel" 
(ie. switching search modules on/off is just a very cumbersome thing).

Yeah, could have well been Norton.
As far as my memory isn't too bad, it was just about a bit been switched ON or 
OFF to make the deleted stuff reappear (well, as far as portions of the file 
were not overwritten later).
