    I know for a fact that it isn't on Dell laptops.
    I like Toshiba, Asus and Dell laptops, Dougie.

    Cindy you may think you know that but do you really believe all the VW executives who now claim they knew nothing about VW attempt to bypass
    gov't standards? I sure don't. I would just bet that all that preloaded Dell software has tie ins and the spyware they are currently loading on consumer systems as well.

    I subcontract for Dell so I work on more Dell computers than any other brand.
    I think that I would definitely know if there was any type of spyware on them.

    Is it not called paranoia if one suspects something and has no proof whatsoever as to the facts?:)
    I hope Dell doesn't read what you just said.
