Okay, so I installed. At the beginning, it politely asked me if I would permit non-personal information to be transmitted back to improve the program. I said No. Ever since, Little snitch regularly (maybe every 30 minutes) pops up to ask if I will allow communication..... I continued to say no. Finally, after I deleted the program(s), it still continued to ask... I don't like this. I told little snitch to deny forever. Be warned.
It would be nice if they offered an uninstall option.

Google Desktop accessed the net for more than just the software improvement program. Unsurprisingly, it's integrated into Google.com. So, it's honoring you opting out of the non-personal feedback thing, but your Little Snitch is reacting to normal Google Desktop behavior (and, frankly, you're reacting to something that you should educate yourself about first).http://desktop.google.com/support/mac/bin/answer.py?answer=60019&topic=10855

Uninstall Option - Razzledazzle
There I an uninstall option. Go to System Preferences. Open Google Desktop.Click the tab that says Feedback and you will see the uninstall option. Incidentally I have Little Snitch as well but seldom turn it on as I am not too worried most of the sites I go to are safe and my apps don't "call home"I allowed Google to get the crash reports etc...why not there is nothing confidential in a crash report or log of that type.Reply to This
