I was trying to track my rebate from Dell. Clicking on their home page and then clicking appropriate area to check, a seemingly bogus page popped up, with the dell logo on top, under it, it said couldn't find yada yada, here are links etc. They had nothing to do with any form of dell/or computers. That day, my computer sort of froze! I restored it to an earlier time, have anti everything, windows defender, and every now and then for no reason at all that same Dell page will just pop up. Scanned my computer, says its running fine, nothing harmful noticed. While typing this, windows defender notice just popped up "about" defender and I didn't click it, any idea what the he** is going on?

No, but I would call Dell and find out. They claim to have a 24 hour a day service center.
