Consumerist were intruiged by an article where a Geek Squad tech support guy admitted that they often copied porn off of customers machines. They rigged up a PC to record a video of all activity, and took it to have some software installed (do people actually pay for that?).

They caught the guy browsing through personal pictures and porn, before copying them to his USB thumbdrive. Tut-tut.

As they point out, the problem is that when your computer breaks down it’s already too late to hide your personal stuff, not that you should have to - if you hire a plumber, he doesn’t root through your personal belongings.

I’d hope that MoT readers wouldn’t need to go to Geek Squad to get software installed?
