Default Best Buy and Geek Squad computer privacy issues

Apparently there is an issue with the Geek Squad at Best Buy viewing
personal files on computers. It seems that customers who have left their
personal computers to be serviced are concerned about unauthorized viewing
of pictures, information and other files. If you check out
https://www.lawyersandsettlements.co...buy_geek_squad they have the
information on this as well as what can be done about it. There is a free
case evaluation provided for those who may have experienced such an issue. I
thought this was interesting and hope that it might be of some help.

I'm not sure what the surprise is, you'd be hard pressed to find a
computer repair shop where the techs don't poke around a little. That's
why it's common sense to remove sensitive data from a PC before taking
it in for service.
