An Israeli hacker pinpoints a vulnerability in the cross-domain protections in Internet Explorer and publishes a proof-of-concept exploit to show how Google Desktop, even on a fully patched IE browser, can be cracked to hijack sensitive user data.
(Sure, much of that may sound like gibberish to some - but the important thing is that
if you use the Google Desktop, a hacker could exploit it to hijack your sensitive data.

MB...I perused the article.
I'm just not sure what Google
Desktop
is; is it the same as me going to Google to search for something?
Thanks for the info,
Patti
