Hi everybody!
I decided to test Google Desktop Search
Hope that this was just a test machine. I would have been a bit nervous to try this on anything I needed, myself.
...In the beginning I put my nick to play with, Dogo. The research came with a bit more than I expected 'cause the engine went to some webmail based accounts: Yahoo and MSN. I could click in the results and opened my Yahoo Mail inbox page without a password.
Perhaps you have something that says funnel all email to a specific account; perhaps you *do* have a "remember my password" set somewhere. Lots of perhaps here; you might want to ghost the drive, and do a little forensics off line, to see if there are presents left behind.
Well, I just used for maybe 20 minutes until the index was being prepared. I uninstalled the tool.
You *hope* you uninstalled it. Checked the registry? Sounds a bit to me like Google is working to be the next Big Blue/Microsoft. Excellent. Survival of the fittest.
Did someone try it? Any opinion?
I'd recommend that someone try a couple of installs on a private network, and watch what goes in or out. Sounds interesting, for certain values of interesting.
