Neither here.
Maybe you typed in "pcdi-homestudy.com" instead of "dell.com".

I read that several people have experienced this same behavior after picking up a computer virus after downloading stuff on some Midget Rodeo Porn site. Of course, I have no idea why you're affected too.

You may have acquired some spyware or other unwelcome trojan, which is screwing with your browser's DNS resolution. Maybe try running AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy.

Also TrendMicro's Housecall, for a free viruscheck.

Jeepers. A Red Hot Anus sounds like it would smart.

Oh, I see.

Well, from my personal computo-internetological knowledge (gained mostly by TiVoing "The Screen Savers" and playing it back in fast-forward while speed-reading the captions), I would say that your browser has been infested by a particularly malicious viral-hackworm that is set to go off whenever the last diploma you've earned reaches its fifth birthday (therefore the Professional Career Development Institute connection), and attaches itself to the first 'four-letter' domain name you attempt to access.

Most MeFites get stung when they try to access Fark. Your case is just that much more embarrassing.

maybe it's similar to this? (which now doesn't do what it used to).

Maybe the Indians are mad at Dell for ditching Dell Boy.

I know I am
