Hilarious post. I am as careful as you. I never click inside the little sucker boxes. But my kid does. Our computer is now infested with popups for doll/makeup games aimed at my 13 year old. And that's despite the fact that I have her on a limited user account with supposedly no admin powers. I have ordered a bargain basement ($399) laptop from Dell which will be physically quarantined from the unwary 13 y.o.

I'll cover what happened in the 2nd part. Kevin Roy…
