Do Not Track disabled by default in new browsers.
http://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2015/04/03/an-update-on-microsofts-approach-to-do-not-track/
So whenever you do not want to be ad-tracked anymore it is up to you to change the settings.
It is better to block ad-tracking, widget tracking and analytical trackers,
because you would never know the adtracker will actually honor your DNT demand.

Running a Dell here but this is not a problem for me, first thing I did when I got the computer is uninstall anything related to Dell.
So no Dell System Detect here.

I have 4 Dell computers and none of them have Dell System Detect.
