Samsung recalls: If you have a smart TV, be sure to regularly check for viruses.

Why is the whole process not automated?

Samsung has posted a message on a social network Twitter that recommends owners of smart TVs regularly check for viruses. This message was deleted later. The question remains to know why the whole process is not automated.

If you have a Samsung Smart TV an integrated security solution in Settings – General – System Manager – Smart Security – Search. The fact is that many users probably do not even know this feature. If the process was automated, it would make life easier for users.

Smart TVs may be affected by malicious codeso regular prevention does not hurt. And even if you do not use the built-in web browser and do not use at least the smart features, the risk of malicious code infiltration is minimal.

In the past, several reports have appeared the vulnerability of smart TVs from Samsung. For example, in the past, the CIA has developed a software called Weeping Angel, which allows users to listen through the TV microphones in the remote control. And security experts have discovered 40 vulnerabilities in the Tizen operating system.

Samsung then published a blog describing the security of its smart TVs.
