BTW Best Buy charges I do charges $299/hour for virus and spyware removal if you bring it in and $349/hour for on site.

I used to work there, and I just checked their website to be sure the prices are still what I remember (which they are). They charge $199, not $299, for diagnostic + virus and spyware removal, and $249 for the same on-site. And it's not per hour, it's per service.

This is what I say on their site. You are right thoughit is a set price but my point is tha tis a lot more than 70 dollars. http://www.geeksquad.com/pricing/default.aspx#section3

That includes buying antivirus and antispyware software and having them install it.  You said "virus and spyware removal" which technically is only $130 in-store, since the diagnostic is $69.  I used to sell and do this stuff, I know how much it costs.
