Do you think staff will check through someones laptop taken back repair.

If you have irrefutable proof that it was PCWorld, as I said pass it on to customer services or don't you have the courage of your convictions. Did Gary Glitter take his PC to PC World too?

 

 

Why are you so defensive of PC World? Do you work there? Can you get us a staff discount or something? Should I ask for you in person?

I was merely pointing out that if you have a genuine grievance against anybody with evidence you should report it but others seemed to have homed in on PC World as though its the only place that does this:roll:

Oh, of course we're not singling PC World out... loads of places do including photo processing labs - remember newsreader Julia Somerville and those photos of her daughter? Google julia somerville baby photos for more details on that.

 

However, I referred to PC World because (a) the topic was specifically about computers and (b) Gary Glitter is probably the most famous case

The honest answer is - yes staff will open up files which test specific programs on the computer, to ensure that all is working well. This will mean opening pictures to test picture viewers, opening music files to test music players, and opening video files to test video. In doing so they may inadvertently come across content which is amusing / crap / dodgy but never, in my 5 year experience at a computer shop, has anyone deliberately copied anyone's personal information.

 

p.s we never really came across anything dodgy either.

They may have difficulty, until that is they get a court order demanding you give them the encryption key.

 

and if you fail you get four months:

When I worked for TIME we had to use a set of different media files on a DVD that were copied to the customer's PC for testing. Opening their files was an instant sackable offence.

I have a corporate laptop and i always advise them of the porn content before i return it for upgrading.

That saves them looking around for it.

Put it this way, staff at Klick look through you're pictures when they print them.

 

I'm guessing it's same for PC world.

[InvalidUser 10]

have you any concrete evidence that PC world technicians do this to back up what is a serious allegation. if so you should pass this on to the complaints department but if it is just hearsay you should be more careful with your wording

 

Basic comprehension failure. I didn't accuse PC World of anything, go back and read it again.
