Google Desktop Search: Possible Security Risk?

In an earlier entry , I had mentioned that Google's new desktop search is a great idea, and I still stand behind that. However, in this article by Information Week, the question comes up of security. Basically, if you are using a stand-alone computer and you are the ONLY user, then you probably have nothing to worry about. However, if you are using a networked computer that other users have access to, you might want to think twice before installing this nifty new tool on your machine. On one hand, Google has introduced a great search tool. On the other hand, it's a perfect foil for identity thieves to get your stuff. Forewarned is forearmed!
