Nero 6 could format your hard drive!

Apparently a bug in Nero 6 Recode could format your hard disk if you set the temporary folder to the root of your hard disk. It will then ask whether you want to remove your temporary files and if you say yes it will delete all files on your disk!

That was a problem, not really a bug, present in the first public version. It isn't there any more. See here: http://www.nero.com/en/631943764043415.html

They have published two updates since then...
