   No, really don't hold back. Tell us what you REALLY think of Dell.

   Would have to disagree...

   dell sell cheap (reasonable) computers
   Can't agree with that. Their machines suck ass -- they'll skimp on some important part to save a nickel making the machine useless. As far as I am concerned this is yet another reason to not buy a dell.
   As for making your dell machine faster, uninstalling all of the crap they pre-installed usually helps alot but Dell support probably isn't allowed to tell you to do that either...

   Big Surprise

   What can you expect from a company that exports its tech support out of America ?

   Yeah, you should buy a computer from a foreign manufacturer that ALREADY has all its support outside the U.S. - Acer, Samsung, etc.

   I can't really say. The sales girl screwed me so bad I just sent the friggin' thing back.
   
   Dell sucks, Gateway sucks, there both criminals. Where the hell can I buy a PC anymore?

   Dell and preloaded spyware

   Dell has now done it better. Just ran the latest ad-aware and apybot on a friend's new Dell and was (after past experience) surprised to have it come up clean... which lead to why the browswer re-directs and the url hijacking on this brand new laptop from the Dell Dudes.
   
   Because it is now part of the operating system!
   
   Check the apps running at start-up. Delete the un-needed one at a time and the hijacking goes away. Zone Alarm stops a lot of outgoing stuff that you can also research. That was my first lead to the source of the problem.All kinds of apps trying to access the internet that I had never heard of.
   
   Viel Spass as the Germans are wont to say. ,
