Kinda creepy...
Some allege Geek Squad agents copy your files
Geek Squad gives its technicians badges, calls them agents and dresses them in a uniform. But some Geek Squad troubleshooters have acted less than police-like with some customers' computer files.
Best Buy's computer trouble-shooters face claims that some technicians copied porn, photos and music from customers.

When Best Buy Co. Inc. bought the Geek Squad five years ago, the two companies pledged to "protect the world from the assault of computerized technology." Geek Squad "agents" even wore badges and drove vehicles resembling police cars.
But as this squadron of techno-nerds has mushroomed into the largest collection of computer troubleshooters in the world, it has become increasingly difficult for the firm to police its own employees.
In recent months, allegations of agents copying pornography, music and alluring photos from customers' computers have circulated on the Internet. Some bloggers now call it the "Peek Squad."Any attractive young woman who drops off her computer with the Geek Squad should assume that her photos will be looked at," said Brett Haddock, a former Geek Squad technician.
