How to update or remove Dell System Detect
What is Dell System Detect?
Dell System Detect (also known as PUP.Vulnerable.DellSystemDetect) is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that is vulnerable to a serious remote code execution attack. It is designed to run on a PC or tablet and interact with Dell Support. Dell System Detect is pre-installed on many Dell computer systems (as well as others including Compaq) and has just recently been included as a threat by Malwarebytes and others. Dell System Detect is not a computer virus.
If Dell System Detect is installed on a Dell system, the system would leave anyone with a venerable version at risk of an attack directed by an attacker to as specific website designed to exploit the flaw in the program.
Dell has updated Dell System Detect to no longer be obsolete to this threat, but old versions of this program still exist. Most versions of the vulnerable program were installed around 2013 and before.
Dell System Detect is not technically defined as a computer virus, but the program is still a threat. The potentially unwanted program should be removed or udpated.
