Exclamation Desktop Search Programs, Are They Safe?

Hi everyone,

I recently head about some search engine software giants developing 'desktop search programs' that enable you, when downloaded to make a google-like search though your files. Can these be used for 'market research purposes', i.e. start working on my files even though they are not told to do so, especially when i am online or are they just an innocent givaway for the 'needy end-users' like me? Thanks for all your feedback.

I've heard Google promises never to do that, but I'm unsure about the others. I personally removed the Google desktop search tool, because when others come over, I don't want them to have access to an index of all my IM logs, emails, documents, etc.

Thanks;-)

Thanks for the info guys. I had heard about these things, but i needed to know i am not that paranoid after all. A friend of mine sent me a "tutorial" to publish on my site encouraging people to use these programs. Recommending a famous "brand" that gives out this stuff. I believe she's unaware of the risk, she even uses one of those e-mail services that allow you (after installing their program) to send out animations, personalised messages, etc voice with your e-mail. Remarkably, her husband is the webmaster of her own site.
