Seriously.. Wow.
How can you miss the two mentions of the name brand of this system... One
in the subject line no less...?

Lisa,

I think you are putting too much stock in these third-party add/remove
programs. If you were smart and ordered the Windows XP CD with your Dell
laptop - since it is new - format it with that Windows XP CD and get rid of
all the Dell crud and put only your stuff on it... Then you know exactly
what is there.
