Google desktop - Security Warning. - 05/03/07 09:13
For those of you using the popular Google Desktop tool. Google recently released a slew of fixes to address some security issues, but many experts believe there are more exploits than Google is letting be known (as they should be doing)

2C139033343%2C339273765%2C00.htm gives a good explanation regarding some privacy concerns with Google Desktop.
Of course I am not trying to spurn any paranoia here, however just be careful when you use a tool, such as Google Desktop, which allows online access to your files. Your sensitive data is only as secure as the service you use.
