    There is no way that the current version of the Google TV get a virus or malware. You can install anything on it and if you can’t install anything on it then you can't install or run viruses either. If the app market open the Google TV it would be more vulnerable. And Google has its own protections for protect from bad programs . it yet seen side loading will be possible .

    You won’t required that program . it is unnecessary for the Android platform. What could be the malware swipe other than your are viewing history, except you're doing online banking as well. Virus are made for the windows platform not Android OS yet

    You need to be cautious of malware as the Android Market might open up the potential for downloading applications that can be with the Trojans. There were few virus attack over the year. With the virus "HippoSMS" and "DroidDream", and those endangered users' personal information by attempting to steal it. The google open market lets app developers to upload their creations of just $25 and they remain anonymous that is why hackers select Android Market as the platform.
