Dell Removal Patches For Their Second Problem. (New Pc's With)

Robert11 · 12 Dec 2015

Hello,

Regarding those two bad items (virus' ?) that Dell included with
their new shipped PC's after, I think, Aug. of this year.

Blame it on my age now, but I don't recall their names.
One of them, had something like "Dellroot...", I think.

They issued a simple patch for the removal of the first.
I did that one.

Have they issued a Patch for the second one yet ? IF so, Where can I find it ?
I really don't want to go thru a 17 step removal process.

Thanks,
Bob
