We’ve had this Dell going on a year.
Randomly, it seems, this little MessageApp thing comes up when I boot the machine. Has an orange box on the left with a blue-green globe and a white “!” over the globe. If I click it, all it says is “Dell|Alert Version 1.0” and a copyright date.
I have tried searching the Dell Support pages for what it’s trying to tell me with no luck.
What am I supposed to think when this thing appears?
Here’s some stuff I found on Google:

Hope those help. The Dell Support Forum link is pretty good, that should do it for you. You should sign up for the support forum, it’s really handy.
Thanks for the trouble you went to, ZipperJJ
