Three months after it was filed, Winternals Software LP says it has
settled its copyright infringement lawsuit against Best Buy Co. and its
subsidiary Geek Squad Inc.

Winternals' lawyer, David Weaver in Vinson & Elkins LLP's Austin
office, filed motions Friday in U.S. District Court in Austin
officially announcing the settlement agreement and asking U.S. District
Judge Sam Sparks to dismiss the lawsuit.

Financial terms of the agreement are confidential, but Winternals and
Best Buy have entered into a three-year business relationship to
license a variety of Winternals' software programs to Best Buy's Geek
Squad and other computer service and repair employees.
