My Samsung "SMART" TV is now pushing Ads

There was an update about a week ago that came out. Once that installed I noticed that when I watch a Baseball game, and small non-intrusive window will pop up and I can select for it to show me batter v. pitcher stats. If I do nothing after 10 seconds it goes away.
Today a Reebok shoes ad popped up. It was a banner ad that covered the bottom 1/8th of the screen. It didn't go away on its own and I had to dismiss it with the remote. I had to go through about 8 different menu items to find out how to turn this off.
I am NOT ... NOT... NOT... ok with this. If they don't kill this "feature" with an update then I will not be buying Samsung anything going forward.

Have't seen that yet. I got the update but haven't really used the SMART function since. Use the Xbox functions more than the TV honestly.
But, I am absolutely not ok with this either. I didn't buy the TV for them to put adds on that too.

That sucks and I haven't heard of that. I love Samsung, especially their tvs, but that could be a deal killer moving forward.

Mine has always done the pop up for pitcher & batter stats during baseball games, it's actually a pretty cool little feature.
But I've never noticed any other 'ads'

Yahoo poor smartphone sales
I think it has more to do with Samsung no longer being the "popular" android phone. No surprise that LG posts a record quarter.

It's easy to not become the "popular android phone" since their are so many of them. To think they are at the point of harvesting is ludicrous though.

Mine began doing it too with Reebox ads.
Terrible.
