PC Magazine Editor’s Choice, January 2005.

I got an offer for a free download in my mail this morning.
 
Call me paranoid but this part
Find anything on your computer instantaneously
I dont like. Something about an external program searching around on my comp gives me the willies. :eek:
 
Both programs are installed on your computer and from reputable companies. It's no more dangerous than you trusting norton or mcafee or avg.

What i've heard though is that google is so good at what it does that certain private files will be indexed as well. When you first install the program it searches for everything and indexes it. This way when you search for anything it'll be really quick.

Try the google version if you use google regularly.
