  1. Why Google is giving them for free?

    Do you think that bugger is trying to monitor my PC?

    I have got no idea but some people asked me not to believe any third party (Includes Google) to poke into my PERSONAL Computer and more personal information…..

    Please let me know what should I do?

  2. Hi Roy,

    This is probably best answered by Google’s privacy policy at http://pack.google.com/intl/en/policy_info.html

    And just for good measure, here’s a link to their software principles at http://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/software_principles.html
