Dell computers come with very little software installed. AOL, Paint Shop Pro 90 days, Quicktime, Real One Player, Windows Media Player, Sonic Record, Music Match Jukebox, Dell Media Experience, Picture Studio and that's it unless you ordered MS Works or MS Office. If you don't bother configuring RealOne, I suppose it spies but that is how any copy of RealOne would be if you leave it at default. I got rid of AOL and Music Match Jukebox. I don't think there is spyware in these programs anymore than if you got them off the internet and didn't configure them. I supposed Dell Picture Studio and Dell Media Experience could have spyware, but I sure haven't noted anything and Spybot has found nothing. My old Dell came with a a lot more software than this one.
