Samsung issued the safety advice to owners of its QLED-branded TVs

Samsung has advised owners of its latest TVs to run regular virus scans. ‘Pointless advice’
Samsung’s recent smart TVs run off a version of its proprietary operating system, Tizen, and often come pre-loaded with McAfee’s Security for TV anti-virus software. Samsung previously raised eyebrows about the security of its smart TVs, in 2015, when it warned customers not to discuss personal information in front of the displays as they could transmit it to third parties.
