It's Time to Update Your Google Desktop!

As there's a new security flaw afoot!

Google has fixed a security flaw in its desktop search software that created a means for hackers to rifle through personal files on users' PCs.

A failure in Google Desktop to "properly encode output containing malicious or unexpected characters" created a means for hackers to cross from the web environment to the desktop application environment.
