Re: What would you find?

said by dg2 See Profile:
Last time I ran a spyware check on two Dell computers straight out of the box (pretty close to straight off the factory floor) I found two porn dialers (two on each machine.) Somehow I doubt that was part of a co-marketing arrangement...
Now it makes me wonder what are they doing at dell to have porn dialers on your machines & makes me wonder if mine had any when I got mine a year or so ago.

Re: What would you find?

well these cookie cutter machines all get the same drive iimage. So your new porn dialers will have been shared by the masses.
Some suit no doubt made a side deal to have this cr*p infiltrated onto Dell machines.
Or Dell is just another infinitely greedy and amoral corporation corroding our society with their grasping. (But who would ever suggest that? )
Buy your own full os and build your machine . That way YOU control the action.
