Unhappy Limewire destroyed my system

Downloaded Limewire 1.6d from the German mirror.
Double clicked the installer and my entire C drive was wiped clean.
I've never seen a hard drives entire contents deleted so quickly and thoroughly. The only thing that still existed was this bloody limewire file and the route to the desktop where it resided.

I AM SERIOUS - DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE

Just to be sure i reinstalled windows (my drive would no longer boot - ALL files deleted) and double clicked the Limewire installer again and again my new installation of windows was removed in its entirity.

Now im sure that Limewire has no intention of wiping harddrives, all i can think is that someone has hacked their servers and put up a bogus app

Thankfully it was only the C drive, only 7GB of data built up over many years - everything gone. Its so crazy that you cant get annoyed about it - its simply disbelief. Backup?? yeah right )
