Possible Privacy Breach
-----------------------------------
It looks like Google has released a new application called [url=http://desktop.google.com/]Google Desktop that allows you to place gadgets, similar to Windows Vista, on your desktop.  This application has a small program called Web Clips.  This feature allows you to view an RSS Feed from a selected website on your desktop.

I posted something in a private, hidden forum and it showed up on the Google Desktop Web Clips application on my desktop!  To see if it was permission based, I logged into my website as a normal user, cleared cookies and temp int files, refreshed the Web Clips application and the post was still visible.

Is there a way to avoid this from happening or is there a way to completely disable all RSS Feeds on my website?

I have important information stored in my private forum that doesn't need to be seen by everyone.

Thanks for your help.
