Nero 6 Bug:

I had better pass this one along since a lot of us use Nero 6 for burning CDs. Apparently there is a serious bug that will wipe your hard drive clean if you accidentally select the wrong thing. Worth looking into.

An Chang used our news submit to tell us that the German online magazine PCwelt.de reports that Nero 6 contains a 'bug' that could delete your entire harddrive. The bug is introduced with the Nero 6 Recode project. Bug might even not be the correct word for it, it seems more that Ahead forgot to limit the feature to empty the destination folder for temporarily files.
