We just purchased a Samsung Smart tv.  My husband tried to use the web browser and immediately a malware scare came up.  Can we add it to our account as a PC or does WebRoot not protect tv's.  THank you for any help you can give me.

 

 
Hi patsybros

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

I am afraid that whilst WSA protects a good many types of devices a Smart TV is unfortuantely not one of them.

 

But perhaps, if this sort of issue becomes more widespread Webroot should consider it...:D

We are, with our new IoT initiative :)

We're developing an API so that manufacturers of smart devices can include protection directly.

While we do not have an app that you can download to your Smart TV, we are active in the IoT space and recently relased an Internet of Things product, the Webroot IoT Security Toolkit. You can read more about it in the Press Release here.
