Is this something new? I've had a Dell for 3 years and have never received an update notification from them.
How does it arrive?
I ask because if you receive them via email, they could be phishing emails, or if you get them via Windows Messaging, they would be suspect. If they are not genuine, then you likely have malware on your computer, and this may be why you are having difficulties.

I've been a member of a photography forum for several years now and all of a sudden when I post a message it doen't show up at all as if I never posted it at all. I keep getting update notices from Dell and always update when asked, could it have changed something? Thanks
