Have you had the same experience and if so, what steps did you take to prevent this from happening?
ToTV sells space on their pages which track your searches and then try to match advertising to your "interests". It's a money maker for ToTV. The only thing you can do to prevent, don't sign in to ToTV or use a different computer do perform searches.
