Most modern data centres wouldn't have had this issue, at least in in Australia they use Argonite suppression systems, these work by using a gas that is a mixture of argon and nitrogen that suppresses fire by depleting oxygen in the the data hall.
Find IP address is connecting to for the ad server, and block it at the router? Its a sad fucking world when I have to suggest this - I flat out wouldn't buy a tv with adware but yeah should work.
