Google Desktop is a huge security risk?

Google Desktop has been identified as a security risk to corporates by many recent corporate audits. The security audits suggest that Google Desktop is an enormous security risk since Google Desktop is one of the most popular downloads in corporates today.

I believe that labelling Google Desktops as a security risk is a flawed conclusion. Not doubt, Google Desktop opens up the corporate network to a host of vulnerabilities but at least the software comes from Google engineers who hopefully will not be very interested in a malicious intent

In comparison to Google Desktops, corporate users around the world download a host of dangerous software - many even written for malicious attacks on corporates.

Do you agree that people are more paranoid about security risks from big business rather than small hackers who can be even more malicious.
