I am very frustrated because I used the antispyware on my
computer and it deleted all my music files and I don't
know where in the world my music went and need help and
support on this matter.
 
You are a "beta tester" not a "user" but MS does have info
about the fact that if you remove spyware that stores music
or pictures within the program that is detected, removing
the program removes the pictures/music files. You should
copy the music/pictures to another folder BEFORE running any
spyware program.

see
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/default.mspx
and
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
and your exact question ... in the release notes you didn't
bother to read.

Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) may prompt you to remove some
peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. If you choose to
remove such a program, Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) deletes
the entire contents of the Program Files directory that
relates to the P2P program. Because some P2P programs store
downloaded files in a default directory under Program Files,
this might remove all files downloaded through the
file-sharing program. For example, KaZaA stores .exe and
..dll files at C:\Program Files\Kazaa. Downloaded files are
stored at C:\Program Files\Kazaa\My Shared Folder. If you
use Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) to remove KaZaA, all files
and folders under C:\Program Files\Kazaa are removed. If you
have installed any P2P file sharing programs, we recommend
that you make a backup copy of your downloaded files before
running Windows AntiSpyware (Beta).

Since you decided to install beta software on a production
system, you surely have some means for backup available,
right?
