The installed file Dell.Client.Pulse.Agent.Plugins.SelfUpdate.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.

While about 78% of users of My Dell Client Framework come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Brazil.
