| "fustrating" i am not so sure. surely its useful but it constantly disrupts my working and when i finally had enough to try to uninstall it, it restarted my computer. and it was still there. till today, i still dont know and havent got rid of it yet. downloaders beware.

| "Consider it Spyware" Anytime software constantly requires to be connected to the Internet, I consider it SpyWare. (Operating systems aside) I have no idea where the information on my computer is going, other than making a mess of the hard drives.

| "Meh" I have never found any of these indexing desktop programs to be particularly useful. Just extra memory baggage IMO. Apps like Thunderbird and even indexed Windows Explorer provide sufficient searching capabilities.

| "crap" hey oamey you must be one of those people who enjoys filling out customer survey forms and watching the x factor as you beleive they are genuinely talented singers. you probably supported madcap bush and blair in iraq and think your boss is your idol.you go to partys and get ignored all nite staring at the cds and reaking off wee.. if you dont mind being a puppet and are satisfied with google invading your rear end with a big fat anal probe then good luck to you. the world needs sheep like you but im sure you will feel the same when someones cloned your identity and ruined your credit limit by obtaining data from good old google..

| "privacy in peril" Just to see what it actually does, I installed this on my testing pc, which is a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. I was shocked to see what this software does in the background. As far as I can judge those suspicious processes, it actually logs your surfing behaviour and sends it to Google. Not very nice!

| "No, thanks" Google wants to know what's going on in my computer.
The same thing does Picasa.
The future danger is privacy, not viruses, wake up people!

| "Exploits your habits and calls home to Google" I recommend avoiding all products from Google. It has been reported they all have built-in backdoor to exploit the users and collect data to create a profile for each.

| "Use it at your own risk" I've seen some reviewers here say that persons who worried about Google Desktop being a security risk were "paranoid" and "losers." However, sure enough, Google Desktop has indeed turned out to be a big security risk to its users. If you want to read the ugly truth for yourself, go to www.computerworld.com and do a search for "google desktop security." Then just read the articles that pop up in your search results. Anyway, those articles convinced me that Google Desktop -- at least when the option to store info on Google's servers is turned on -- is just too plain risky to be trusted.

| "privacy?" Since when is anything private once on the internet? This is a great software and don't be fool...google or someone else, in the end they all know what's going with your life once logged in, and that's not being paranoid. If you're in need of privacy get another computer and keep it away from the web.

| " Google Desktop 4.2006.1002.1212" Yes this program does register as spyware in most antispyware apps. Personally I like the idea of free server backup for my data. But if privacy is an issue for you, I would pass this one by. Otherwise the app works perfectly for doing as it claims. So far Google has been the only search engine that has refused to allow the government access to our private data to spy on us. AOL, Yahoo, MSN and many others can't say that. They are all indeed traitors. All I can say is, " Thank God for Google".

| "Jesus Christ" Was born on christmas. Anyways, this is a FANTASTIC piece of software and is most definatly NOT a security risk, unless your PERVERTED there is no reason you should be reluctant to share things with google, which by the way is a very secure and safe organization. Looking for something, use this amazing, convinient piece of software. Oh by the way losers, if you are "reluctant" to share info with google then there is an option to turn it off ok?! So why not give it a try...
