A Potentially Unwanted Program, also called in short as PUP, is a software that contains adware, installs toolbars or has other unclear objectives.

The Washington Examiner is a web site; it is not a software program.
I've seen PUPs occasionally incorporated within the download of legitimate software programs and/or updates to these programs. One must be sure to read and uncheck boxes to any unwanted additions to the programs prior to downloading them. I've gotten caught a few times but was able to remove the pesky additions via the control panel of my computer. They download under their own name; separately from the main program. I've never encountered an actual damaging 'virus' with them, just malware.
