Why do you want to hate Dell? They didn't enable the program, you did.

Computrace is designed to not allow easy removal for the obvious reasons. Even if parts are removed, the program is self-healing, and will resist most attempts. You need to contact the Computrace to see if they will help you. Also do a web search. You may find some info on removal.

If you look in the BIOS, you will see that once enabled, it can not be disabled in the BIOS.
