Dell has launched a new Web site with
information about online security issues - such as spyware and viruses.
The PC maker says the site answers the most frequently asked questions
on what is the most common problem for consumers: spyware and viruses.
"Spyware is the root cause of many
of the performance problems our customers face," Mike George, vice president
and general manager of the computer maker's consumer business, said in
a statement. Up to 20 percent of the calls received by Dell's consumer-desktop
technical support workers are for spyware and virus-related issues, far
surpassing any other performance issue, George said.
Spyware programs often install on
home computers without a user's knowledge and can lead to sluggish, unstable
performance. Dell thus joinsaYahoo and Microsoft, as well as long
list of other companies offering services to help consumers battle the
increasing number of malicious applications floating around the internet.
