    When people ask me about Geek Squad, I always tell them to avoid them like the plague.

    This is why.

    I have their "MRI-5.10.2" software and it is benign. (Does not phone home)
    This is all on the employees of Best Buy.

    I hope to see a multi million dollar lawsuit on those employees and a multi billion dollar lawsuit on Best Buy for allowing it to happen...
    Regardless of the "why".
