Did anyone ever google their name to see what came up? (I just did and what
I found was a personal email I sent to someone last year). It was the first
one that came up! and its on the internet
&nbs p; &nbs p;
Then I was googling someone else`s name to test it, and then a personal
word document came up from my hard drive
I have no idea how this happened or how to remove this information. I did
install Google Desktop. I am wondering if this has anything at all to do with
why this happened.
I just sent a email to Google I am hoping that I get an answer liie immediately
since I dont like my personal information out there!
I wonder if I encrypted my word docs if this would have have prevented it
from being on the web but what about my email?
I would appreciate comments on this - thank you so much!!

I uninstalled the Google Desktop program and then googled the same
things and they didnt show up this time. Thank goodness..
As far as googling my own computer, I didnt even know that was
possible. Maybe I did google my computer, cause the
documents with my friends addresses is on my hard drive. But the
other email from a year ago wasn`t I checked that email account.
Chuck, I went to the Google Desktop page and clicked on "preferences".
I scrolled but didnt find "Google Integration". Maybe I missed
it, dont know.
Im just glad that the problem is gone, that is one of the dark sides of the
internet and in the future I am going to be more careful about downloading software...
Thank you guys for the help!
