Rude Question Time.....
Is your windows CD legit?
Are you using the lisence key on the side of your Dell PC? (that should be legit)
Have you activated your copy of windows? I have found that windows will not update easily until you activate.

Do you have a Anti-Virus installed? Have you been surfing the web while not having a Anti-Virus installed? Sounds like a browser hijack to me. Go through Osiris's Guide. Osiris Spyware Guide

I would run Malwarebytes just in case. This is most definitely a browser hijack. Just have to figure out why.

Hefe already gave you a link to that service in post #10. That is the only service Tech-forums offers in regards to someone taking remote actions with your PC. For your protection and ours.
