Remove TheTorntv

TheTorntv (or TornTV) is an adware program that is usually offered on streaming websites. TheTorntv promises free viewing of sports, news, etc., on your computer. The problem is that TheTorntv software is not very safe for your computer. After being installed, it will modify the settings of your browsers by installing add-ons for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer; and it will also modify Windows firewall settings by creating an exception for authorized incoming adware. For those reasons, it’s strongly recommended to remove TheTorntv.
