I'm not sure and there may have been investigations but nothing was ever done. I have heard similar stories from others who have had the " geek Squad " work on their computers.
A news story came out 2 weeks ago where an arrangement was discovered between the Geek Squad and the the government to snoop through any computer brought in for repairs. Geek squad employees are paid $ 500 " spiffs " for snooping.

While some of the activities the Govt. is looking for is criminal and reprehensible, it raises issues as to how that that evidence is collected. Even more troublesome is that Innocent people can be caught up in these searches if they purchased used computers from outlets like Ebay or garage sales and have the geek squad perform routine maintenance or " scrubbing " the computer that they can't do themselves.
