I agreed that it may have asked if I wanted to install it, I trusted the source and didn't expect it to install scumware on my pc.

I'm sorry, perhaps I've entered a parallel universe where WIPEDRIVE means something other than WIPE DRIVE. For christs sake are you stupid? If I set a startup entry on your computer of "format c:" would you not complain? You're either naive or paid by Messenger Plus because I can't think of any other reason for such a monumentally stupid answer such as the one you posted.
I'll take this as the official response then and make it my mission to tell as many people as I can (and that's a hell of a lot of people on the internet, believe me) about this scumware. I respect the author's right to get paid for his software but he also has a responsibility to ensure that the scumware he's installing with his product isn't harmful. The owner of the scumware is british and if WIPEDRIVE does what the name suggests then it's illegal under UK law.
