McAfee VirusScan cannot be enabled. NotifyAlert.exe error message

I have been using McAfee VirusScan, Privacy, and Firewall Plus for 3 years. Suddenly, at the same time I started getting "NotifyAlert.exe" error messages at boot up, VirusScan also became disabled and cannot be enabled. At the same time I also started getting occasional "rng.exe" application error messages and "Outlook Express has encountered a problem and needs to close" messages. McAfee Support had me uninstall all McAfee and SpySweeper files and said I should get support from Dell before reinstalling any of those files. Any ideas?

Uninstall Dell Support in Add/remove Programs. You don't need it. If you prefer, you can download the latest version and install it at Dell Downloads. Read this http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&dn=1089357

I've tried removing Dell Support, but I cannot. I get an "Error 1722" message that says I should "contact support personnel." Should I attempt to remove all Dell programs including "Dell Resource CD"? Dell Support says to check if MS.NET Framework is installed, and it is.

When I "run" "regedit" I find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Dell\EUSW\
Support.exe" Can I safely delete that file and might it help me solve my problem?
