Um... this isn't Dell's fault. In fact, when you have a software problem, it's never the manufacturer's fault. Heck, your system is what, 2-3 years old now? If this is when you've started having problems like this, then that's a good track record.
Have you tried some of the suggestions in the sticky threads at the top of the security thread? Specifically, the one entitled Helping Yourself. If that doesn't fix your issue, and you've got spyware, you may as well back up your data, locate your system's original installation media, and reinstall Windows on the machine.
