From the macworld UK website...
A Macworld reader alerted the magazine to the malware after he
downloaded the file from Limewire. The reader told Macworld: "I
downloaded the file in the hope that perhaps Microsoft had released
some sort of public beta. The file unzipped, and to my delight the
Microsoft icon looked genuine and trustworthy."
However, he added: "I clicked on the installer file, and to my horror
in 10 seconds the attachment had wiped my entire Home folder!"
Damn script kiddies,
