File: GoogleDesktopSearchSetup.exe
Status:
MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)

Trying it out now.

Isn't this what Windows indexing does? But is just a useless feature anyway?

Thank you for your note. Google Desktop Search is only partially
compatible with Mozilla Firefox. If you install Desktop Search and open a
Firefox browser window, you'll see a 'Desktop' link appear on the Google
homepage. You can click this link to go to the Desktop Search homepage
whenever you want to search with Desktop Search.

Web pages which you view in Firefox aren't added to your Desktop Search
index, however, so you won't be able to find them with Desktop Search.

We realize that many of our users use Mozilla Firefox as their primary
browser, and we may consider adding increased Firefox support in a future
version of Desktop Search.

Regards,
The Google Team

Desktop search seemd to modify the default browser settings. It should
just allow people who are using alternative browsers such as Firefox to
use Firefox straight out of the box instead of changing our browser
settings, if IE is not required to fully utilize the features of Desktop
Search.

Thank you for your note. At the moment, Google Desktop Search is set up to
install only into your Program Files directory. For most users, your
Program Files directory is located on your c:\ drive. We do not currently
offer a way to adjust this setting. We realize that installing in an
alternate location might be convenient in some situations, and may
consider adding this in the future.
