UM security review of Google desktop

UM's Information Technology Security Services has published an interesting
security review of the Google Desktop search product.

Their recommendation is that "Google Desktop should only be deployed to individual users on an 'as-needed' basis in
accordance with the following deployment guidelines:

a. Disable Google Integration
b. Disable Network Drive Indexing
c. Disable Indexing of secure web pages
d. Disable Indexing of Instant Messages"
