Samsung says you should be running a virus scan on your Samsung smart TV “every few weeks.” The company added McAfee antivirus to its TVs recently. But do you really need to manually run an antivirus scan—on your TV?!
三星表示，您应该“每隔几周”在三星智能电视上进行病毒扫描。 该公司最近在电视中添加了McAfee防病毒软件 。 但是，您真的需要在电视上手动运行防病毒扫描吗？
不，不要在电视上运行防病毒扫描 (No, Don’t Run Antivirus Scans on Your TV)
Let’s get right to it: No, we don’t recommend running an antivirus scan on your smart TV.
让我们开始吧：不，我们不建议在智能电视上运行防病毒扫描。
If Samsung thinks you should manually run antivirus scans on its smart TVs to stay secure, that’s a good argument for not purchasing a Samsung TV. Or, if you do have a Samsung TV, that’s a good argument for disconnecting your Samsung TV from the Wi-Fi and using a streaming device like a Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, or Chromecast.
如果三星认为您应该在其智能电视上手动运行防病毒扫描以保持安全，那么对于不购买三星电视来说，这是一个很好的理由。 或者，如果您确实有三星电视，那么对于断开三星电视与Wi-Fi的连接并使用Roku，Apple TV，Fire TV或Chromecast之类的流媒体设备来说 ，这是一个很好的论点。
If Samsung wants to integrate background antimalware scanning to check off a box on a feature list and make its customers feel better, that’s fine. But asking people to manually scan for malware on their TVs is just absurd—and, if they have to, Samsung has done something very wrong.
如果三星希望集成后台反恶意软件扫描以选中功能列表上的复选框，并使客户感觉更好，那很好。 但是，要求人们在电视上手动扫描恶意软件只是荒唐的事，而且，如果必须的话，三星做的事情是非常错误的。
The official Samsung Support Twitter account has since deleted its tweet, but it’s still available on the Internet Archive—and the company’s QLED TVs still have the antivirus software built-in, too. The antivirus scan is available from menu > General > System Manager > Smart Security.
此后，官方的三星技术支持Twitter帐户已删除其推文，但仍可在Internet存档上使用 -该公司的QLED电视也仍内置了防病毒软件。 可以从菜单>常规>系统管理器> Smart Security中进行防病毒扫描。
但是您的电视可以恶意软件吗？ (But Can Your TV Get Malware?)
It is possible that smart TVs could be compromised, but that will likely be a result of a zero-day attack that antivirus software won’t catch.
智能电视可能会受到威胁，但这可能是防病毒软件无法捕获的零日攻击的结果。
Like all Internet of Things devices—Internet-connected devices that often aren’t supported for long enough with security patches—your TV’s “smart” software could eventually end up old, unpatched, and open to attack.
像所有的物联网设备一样，通常没有足够长的时间通过安全补丁支持与Internet连接的设备，您电视的“智能”软件最终可能会变旧，未打补丁并容易受到攻击。
If you’re running an old smart TV—perhaps with old, unpatched Android TV software—that might be a problem. But we recommend skipping the antivirus software—you can’t even use antivirus software on most TVs!
如果您运行的是旧的智能电视(可能是使用未打补丁的旧版Android TV软件)，则可能会出现问题。 但是我们建议跳过防病毒软件，您甚至不能在大多数电视上使用防病毒软件！
Just disconnect the TV from your Wi-Fi and use a Roku or similar streaming device instead. If your TV isn’t connected to the Internet, it’s fine. And streaming devices like these will continue being supported with security and feature updates long after your TV manufacturer has forgotten about your TV.
只需断开电视与Wi-Fi的连接，然后使用Roku或类似的流媒体设备即可。 如果您的电视没有连接到互联网，那很好。 在您的电视制造商忘记了电视之后很长一段时间，此类流媒体设备将继续受到安全性和功能更新的支持。
After all, when was the last time you heard of antivirus software for a Roku?
毕竟，您最后一次听说Roku防病毒软件是什么时候？
