VIZIO to Pay $2.2M to FTC
I have a Samsung "smart" TV. A while back, it started opening a pop-up every 10 minutes on top of whatever I was watching to reporting that my internet connection was down.  My internet was just fine, but apparently their update server had gone down.  I had to factory reset it to make it forget my Wi-Fi password and stop bothering me.Now it just has an computer attached and isn't used for anything other than a dumb screen.
