Besides adware and spyware, internet surfers beware.
I've had some unpleasant experiences with popunders.
I have found that particular sites have discovered, how to load desk top icons on sub-accounts of your home p/c, and in essence, impacting every sub-account on your home computer.
These popunders can't be dragged to your garbage can. I have found that they can only be right clicked to access the delete icon.
They maybe gone for the moment, but are sure to re-appear within a 12 hour period, after the computer is either shut off, or logged off.
