My laptop at home was getting a lot of weird links to websites I don't use. And, I mean a lot of links. The same thing happened to the computer I use when I volunteer once a week. My laptop is on Norton's Security provided by Comcast.

I thought my laptop had a virus so I took it to the shop. They said they had never seen so much brownware on a computer! At my volunteer job, they removed the internet from that computer. Both companies blamed it on TOTV!

I now only use TOTV on my iPad and so far I haven't had a problem. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?
I have never heard the term brownware and when I googled it I came up empty. What is it?
