Google Desktop Search is also Spyware

Google Desktop Search: Security Threat? (PC World)

Tom Spring writes, "using GDS, I was able to bypass user names and passwords that secure Web-based e-mail programs and view personal messages sent and received on public PCs". Hmm.... that's something to be concerned of. But, I think Google is not concerned about this. Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products, says "this is not a bug, rather a feature". It that's a feature, I think that's really a bad feature. But, actually, you could configure GDS such that it does not index web pages or specific domains. Tom continues, "On one computer alone I was able to access no less that 10 personal e-mails that had been sent using password-protected Web-based e-mail accounts". Check out the PC World article for user comments. You will definitely find useful information so that GDS shall not spy on your personal data.
