News: Google mends security flaw in Desktop Search

this news is a bit late, but all Google Desktop Search users, read this:

InfoWorld: Google mends security flaw in Desktop Search

Users can check if they have the updated version by selecting the "about" icon in their Google Desktop Search task bar.
If it says version number 121004, indicating Dec. 10, 2004, or later, they are safe else download the updated version here.

I used it and uninstalled it... it was nice especially for cache searching... but wasn't integrated with firefox/opera.. i do 90% of my online activity on firefox... lol... and whenever by mistake i used to touch IE it was nicely recorded by GDesktop....

These days using MSN Desktop Suite (BETA)... its cool... wasn't working with my Outlook stuff before few days... now its working fine... all other features $ux...

databse created for my 80 GB by GDesktop was just 67 MB but this MSN Desktop Search created 456 MB of data... :roll: :roll: :shock:

Quick Info...

GDesktop Databse can be found here:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop Search

And MSN Desktop Data here :
