The same thing happened to me several years ago when they introduced their Google Desktop, and I'd already made my decision to use Google as long as I could do so at arm's length, but never to let it too near my hardware.
I don't know how isolated our experiences were, so this is no basis for your making a decision... just sharing "close encounters" we had.
