viruses How to clean Smart TV?There are various ways to achieve this goal. First, try to work on the memory device.
What caused the memory shortage error?
This problem is due to the fact that, most likely, your device is not intended for viewing multimedia online. On such models, you'll have to forget about using a simple browser to watch movies and TV shows. It is worth using special programs that you can easily find in the application store.
Similar errors can be associated with a "real" clogging of the system. Many users jam the memory of the TV with third-party applications and widgets, which they practically do not use. In this case, you should go through the list of installed applications and delete those that you deem necessary.

No one forbids installing a protection program for your Smart TV, but first you need to prioritize:
- You can not equip your device without breaking it. You can do such operations with the device only at your own peril and risk, since such manipulations "dump" the terms of the guarantee, and in general can lead to breakage.
- Do I need an antivirus for the TV in general? Most new TVs work on new operating systems, which have a number of differences from devices on android. One of these differences is the closed file system. This feature is the main protection against the intervention of intruders, so the manufacturers themselves do not release any antivirus products for their products. What for? It is impossible to penetrate into such a system.
Important! We advise you to refrain from installing an antivirus for your TV, as you can inflict irreparable damage to the system and repair the TV yourself will have to pay, as the warranty conditions will cease to be relevant after your intervention in the operating system.
Now you know that most problems that can arise when working with such devices are associated with "improper" operation of the device and do not have to think about how to clean the TV from viruses, it does not matter - Samsung or Al GJ.Try to keep your TV's memory clean, put only proven applications, and step back from viewing multimedia via a standard browser. Observance of such simple rules will help you get pleasure from watching Smart TV, because you will not need to fix your mistakes forever.
