when i opened launchpad a few weeks ago, i found a bunch of google apps there that i'd never installed (i DO run chrome sometimes). and tonite, i found a new app "google search".
suspicious, i googled this (sort-of like using a bad detective to find another bad detective)... but found the info below (so am sharing it in case it helps anyone):
http://www.cio.com/article/2993065/...wanted-google-chrome-apps-from-launchpad.html
google (and in fact, NO one) should install apps on my mac unless they ask first (at least). thought i had something unsavory on my mac...and was trying to figure out how it got there.
so...the apps are legit, just installed without my permission (or authentication). FU, google...
