Bogus Dell Support Popup ?

Today I started receiving a diagnostic popup window from Dell stating that I had a hardware problem.  It asked me to run a HW scan which I did. The diagnostic tool indicated that the CPU, Optical Drive and Memory were all good.  System passed the test yet it encouraged me to download IOLA diagnostic software for free?

I am always suspicious of so called free stuff due to the gotchas and adware built into them.  Is this a promotional ploy?  I say that since the same popup window came up later after the scan?
