What a surprise... Geek Squad employees have to spend at least 7.5 of their

As far as I'm concerned any info on a computer that's taken to a repair shop
is open and fair game. It's the responsibility of the computer owner to back
up and delete sensitive data and totally their fault if they do not. How do
you think most folks get caught and serve jail time for illegal porn?



IIRC, most shops have it in the fine print that they're in no way
responsible for the integrity or security of your data, it may get wiped
out if they forat the drive and reinstall the OS to fix the problem or
it may get snooped, it's a risk you agree to take by bringing the
machine into a shop. You can of course hire a tech to come to your house
and work on it in your presense, at a correspondingly higher price.
