Imagine all your private e-mails, social security numbers and family records handed over to a stranger. CBS 2 Investigator Pam Zekman reports on what happened to two families when they went to have their computers fixed.

Kymberli Mulford took her computer to be fixed at CompUSA in Hoffman Estates. She needed help removing a virus that she thought was causing her computer to regularly shut down.

Karen Davis says her computer kept locking up so she took it to the same CompUSA store for repairs. And that's where their worlds collided. "It was a nightmare, it was a joke," Mulford said. When Davis got home with her computer, she discovered Mulford's personal files installed on her hard drive.
