deleted my data files

[rob]

spyware scanned and detected kazza which i had not used
for many months, so i said it would be ok to 'remove' the
program.

spyware then proceeded to not only remove the program but
also to delete all data files in its folder including 5
gig's of music.

undelete, winrecovery, finalrecovery, nor the spyware
program itself were able to subsequently restore the
deleted files...

what to do now?

do i just write it off as a loss? and if so, is there
anyway we can notify the program developers of installing
some sort of warning to prevent this from happening to
others?

Rob;
The developers are already aware of this.
Something here may help:

In the future it is always best to have back-ups of all important data.
Many other things can cause loss of data, one is hard drive failure.
You need to protect from data loss from all sources not just a anti spyware
program that goes to far.
