news came of a free application for archiving the gmail is actually  a frontend for a bigger scam to steal the user login and password of unsuspecting user who are overdependent on google for their daily life so much that they are giving their access to their beloved google account to the creator of the application .

There is a recent post in coding Horrors where a programmer found out of a hardcoded account login of the application creators gmail account where the login and password of users who have  instaled this application called GArchiver are sent. when the programmer opened this gmail account of its creator named john terry   he found the account password of so many of peoples . The creater of this application must have his eyes on some valued data which people might have in their google account.
