I gather you're not running Malwarebytes. There is a free edition, but Malware Bytes Premiums value for the money and peace of mind.

As long as your Dell is in that list of supported models and you're running Windows XP or Vista then yes, it's perfectly safe to use. Otherwise, no.

Looks like I missed something??

What is it you are asking about? Is what safe to use? - And for what?

It's software that came with/comes with Dell computers, I had it on an old Optiplex 755 but it didn't work with Win10 and I didn't both to update it.

Tks. Well, there you go. I have three Dells , all once with the diag program. I never saw them as harmful, only as bloatware.
I just didnt realise it was the actual program the op was querying

Did someone mention dell and old and Windows XP at the same time! if there is anything I have worked with its dell, old and I am trying to install windows XP. And as far as I Know that is not bloatware it is completely safe and that only works if you have a diagnostics partition. Otherwise it won't install at all. That is found in the driver section on the dell website under windows 7 and below. If you the dell website says your laptop (or desktop) is supported by that then go right ahead but I would not worry about that as its not important. And that picture is of the built in file unzipper and unless changed otherwise it will unzip to C:/Dell/EAG72. that's not the exact location, but that is not important right now. Once it unzips than it will automatically run the .exe file that installs it and it will prompt you to either: update the partition or install on dvd or thumb drive or close it.

Sorry. My interpretation of bloatware is something on my computer which is taking space and will never be used.

My bad but either way if that is your interpretation then that is correct it is a completely unnecessary and outdated piece of software so as long as you did not get your computer used then the drivers on it will be just fine. If you want to take a chance and install most likely outdated drivers from the dell website you can but unless there is, for some reason, a problem with a newer driver or your current driver than I would do it but the current drivers for your computers will be fine. Now if you want to keep your important drivers up to date then you can download Dell Support Assist which will update your drivers and optimize the performance of your Pc.
