NotifyAlert.exe? What is that

I got a warning that pops-up out of nowhere. Im not even online or doing anything. On the top it says "NotifyAlert.exe" then it asks something like to debugg or something. So i click debugg and it says, i think "cordbq.exe has terminated" What is this. It has happened twice out of no where

    It's part of "Dell Support". A commonly suggested resolution is to uninstall Dell Support, as you'll see from some of the links "pskelly" found at Google.

    Did it start happening after a recent Spybot SD cleaning?  The same happened to me after Spybot SD removed an entry called VX2/f.  See link to my post below.  I'm trying to figure out if it can be fixed.

    VX2 is a BHO adware file. Spybot did right in removing it. I don't think you want it back.

    I recently experienced the same problem/symptom on my DELL 8300. It happened after I download an update to Spybot-Search & Destroy. After installing the update, I scan the computer for problems. Spybot identified "VX2 /f" (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vendor). I of course ran the "fix" and removed this registry entry. After reading many comments on the forum about NotifyAlert.exe, I decided to undo the "fix" using Spybot’s restore feature. That fixed the problem. Good luck to all who have the same problem and I hope this helps...

    I used Spybots "Recovery" feature to reinstate "VX2 /f."   That fixed my problem..

    BoJingle,

    I found out that is a known bug for Spybot SD, it incorrectly flags a registry entry for deletion.  For now, scan with Spybot and when it detects it, mark it to be Ignored.  That should fix the problem until a Spybot update is released.
