On 12-4-2005 I reported this flaw in IE and it seems that Google has adjusted their code to adjust for the IE Flaw.
Google Inc. has made an "adjustment" to its Google Desktop application to protect users from an unpatched design flaw in Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer browser. "We have made an adjustment to the product to help protect users," said Google spokesperson Sonya Boralv. She declined to provide details on the extent of the Google Desktop modifications.
Boralv said users aren't required to take any action to get protected because the changes were made "on our end" to block the remote access attack vector.
