It doesn't need to be 'running' the web server part of it will run as a service, so it's always running in the background so the Dell website can interact with it. It has had some fairly big security issues but I suspect they are now patched
or could be simply sloppy coding - developer leaves url pointing to testing url, the page would still try to make the call, even if there is nothing on the other end to provide the script, so noscript will see/block this...
If it's an xhr request blocked it could just be a probe to try and connect to the support software, but if it was a script loaded from localhost the the server is definitely there.
