I am interested in using Google Desktop, but am concerned about the potential for security leaks from my computer. I am uncomfortable with Google indexing my hard drive. I have read that you can turn off indexing, so I feel better about that. Could someone please provide more information about what other security issues the Google Desktop may present. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
