No they wouldn't even have a need to do any of that - sure it's a possibility if you have a busy body poking around in there but their job only consists of fixing or diagnosing computer problems if you are concerned delete all your browser history, run disc clean up (you'll find this under start accessories system tools) clean all unnecessary files (I use easy cleaner to do this but I see everyone suggesting CC Cleaner all the time so you could try either or).

they would not be able to find that info, unless they were to go through the deleted files on your computer, and someone with the right software could do that. Just delete your "history" from all your browsers(if you use more than 1) and you should be fine.

They will not be able to see any of the other info as long as you delete all cookies from your browser, this will disable any auto login to those sites (including here) until you login again (then the cookies will come back, but you'll need your password ect)

Hope that helps some.

Ya that is the drawback about taking the thing to the Best Buy GEEKS or in that matter anyone who works on laptops. It is a well known fact that if there is something private on your computer take it off or it will appear on the internet. or be added in the look what I found at the repair centers lunch table.

Everything you do leaves a trace. If you went to a dodgy site then the evidence will be all over the place. The cache and history will have everything in there.

Messenger won't record the conversations unless you told it to. Webmail might be visible in the cache. POP3 mail will be in your email client.
