    i just update my blueray disc unfortunately my Kaspersky AV detected mediadirect as a riskware worm.

    result: i can't install mediadirect update.

    can somebody confirm that this mediadirect update is safe...i'll exclude this file so that i can update my blue ray.

    Do you really think Dell is trying to take over your computer in any way, shape, or form? As long as you downloaded it from Dell.com, you should be fine.
