Several times a day for the past 2 or 3 weeks I've been getting a pop-up in the lower right corner of my screen that says "Dell Update - 1 update is ready to install." When I click "Details" I'm told, "Dell Inspiron 2350 System BIOS." There are options to install now or later, and I've always clicked later. Before installing, I'd like to be certain that this is a legitimate Dell update. I would prefer approving a BIOS update on the Dell website itself - not in response to a suspicious-looking pop-up. My wife has the same model Dell PC that I have, and she is also getting the same pop-up, so that makes me think that it is probably legitimate, but I want to be sure. Should I install it? Or should I go to the Dell support website to look for that update and perhaps drivers as well? I called Dell support to try to find out if the update is legitimate, but because my PC is out of warranty, the Dell agent wasn't very interested in giving me any information other than how much a warranty would cost me.
