Comment Dell does support Spyware install blocking, though (Score 1) 1013
I just bought a new computer through Dell Canada at the end of October. The first thing I did, after installing ZoneAlarm and Opera, was to prune the System Startup with msconfig. One of the files that I didn't recognise was DSentry.exe ( DVDSentry). When I looked it up at pacs-portal, it was described so:
"Anti-spyware from Dell. Seems that after Dell found out certain applications being installed from DVD's would report back information about what customers were watching, they decided to implement an anti-spyware service. Run manually before installation starts".
So I expect that either the memo only refers to Dell US, and we Canadians are still safe, or they're just covering themselves legally by not mentioning specific sites.
