Dell Alert task on task bar cannot be killed
All Dell computers ship with a task called Dell Support Alert. It lurks on the taskbar (right side) and provides no useful data. I have tried everthing to kill it, but it won't go away. You can exit from it after each boot, but it returns thenext time. It doesn't appear, that I can find, in msconfig start items. How do I make it die forever?
Add Remove Programs in Control Panel to Uninstall That.

Great answer! I never did get any benefit from any of their stuff.
Warning: editing the Registry without backup and/or knowing how to restore it again is worth more than 500 points on this forum (don't do it!!)
