Thanks to CDfreaks.com for the heads up!

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.

Bei der Verwendung des in Nero 6 enthaltenen Spezialtools "Nero Recode" kann ein Bug dazu führen, dass im Extremfall die Festplatte gelöscht wird, berichtet die PC WELT. Nero 6 war am vergangenen Wochenende erschienen und enthält neben der eigentlichen Brenn-Software auch zahlreiche Tools für Spezialaufgaben. Darunter "Nero Recode", das es Anwendern - ähnlich wie DVD Shrink und Clone DVD - ermöglichen soll, den Inhalt eines DVD-Films auf die Größe eines handelsüblichen DVD-Rohlings zu komprimieren. Wie die PC WELT herausgefunden hat, kann die Verwendung von "Nero Recode" - das derzeit als "0.90 Beta-Version" gekennzeichnet ist - für den Anwender allerdings schlimme Nebenwirkungen haben. Der Grund: Im Tool steckt ein schwerer Bug, der dazu führen kann, dass der Inhalt der gesamten Festplatte binnen Sekunden im Nirvana verschwindet, ohne dass der Anwender es verhindern kann.

Just spotted this over at Savagenews.com. WinOnCD 6's second service pack has been released by Roxio.

WinOnCD 6.02 is a maintenance release of WinOnCD 6 PE and DVD. There have been numerous improvements and fixes. The following list contains a selection of the most important changes that have been made in WinOnCD 6.02.

NeroNET is a network-capable extension of the Nero burner program, which can be used in an IP-capable Intranet. The aim is to give all intranet users easy access to all available recorders. In this system NeroNET consists of two components: NeroNET-Server and Nero (Client). As NeroNET-Server, it will run on all computers with burner capability ('Burn servers'). Nero (Client) runs on one users computer. If the burn server is also equipped with a printer, the newly burned CD can also be matched with the appropriate label, made possible by the accompanying Nero Cover Designer. The Nero version that you are already familiar with represents the Client and is extended by the NeroNET-Server version.

Roxio bietet jetzt ein neues Service Pack für sein Brenn-Programm WinOnCD 6 zum Download an. Das rund 16 MByte große Update soll einige Features der Software verbessern und das Tool um neue Funktionen bereichern.

So far Ahead Software has not reacted to the leak as it is spreading wildly through the internet. Nero 6 will officially released on July 18th.
