A Texas software company sued Best Buy Co. Inc. in federal court on Tuesday, alleging that the nation's largest 
consumer electronics retailer was using unlicensed versions of its diagnostic equipment.

In response, a U.S. District Court granted Winternals Software LP's request for a temporary restraining order.

The lawsuit by Austin-based Winternals alleges employees of Best Buy's computer-repair subsidiary, Geek Squad Inc., 
have been using pirated versions of the software since talks on a commercial licensing agreement broke off.
