Dell PC's come with (inactive) software which allows them - if you go to their site and choose to run the services - to inventory your computer and the like. You might do that - for example - if you wanted their site to suggest upgrades, add-ons and spare parts for your PC.

Users are specifically asked if it is okay to check their machines before proceeding, so it is a major stretch to call this "spyware".
