No. Spyware is software that reports on your activities or gathers personal information about you and sends it via the Internet to third parties without your knowledge or consent. Google Desktop is installed only with your explicit consent. And unlike spyware, Google Desktop does not send personal information to Google or any other third party. Please see our software principles for a discussion of spyware and other malicious software.
