&gt;
&gt; &gt; 	Although they say you can disable it, they also say it
&gt; &gt; calls home every so often to see if there is an upgrade
&gt; &gt; available and it then transmits info at that time.
&gt; &gt; &quot;Additionally, when Google Desktop Search automatically
&gt; &gt; checks to see if a new version is available, the current
&gt; &gt; version number and the unique application number are sent to
&gt; &gt; Google.&quot; and just in case you tried to mess with your &quot;unique
&gt; &gt; application number&quot; -  &quot;The unique application number is
&gt; &gt; required for Google Desktop Search to work and cannot be disabled&quot;.
&gt;
&gt; I've got it running in a virtual machine now with TCPDump logging
&gt; everything
&gt; coming and going. Nothing unusual in the first 24 hours. I'll probably let
&gt; it run for a few weeks and see what turns up.
