A virus scanning system which scans a mobile device/mobile device for files containing viruses even if the files are not executable on the mobile device. Corrective actions such as removing the files can be performed once the viruses are detected. As a result, viruses which are not executable (as being designed for other mobile device types) can also be detected and removed from mobile devices. According to another aspect, a common interface is provided when a virus scanning program requests data from mobile devices, and the computer is provided with different remote application programming interfaces suited to retrieve the specified data from the corresponding mobile devices. As a result, the computer can be extended to integrate scanning of new device types easily. According to one more aspect, a scanning program retrieves only data portions required for continuing the scan operation. According to yet another aspect, the program modules and virus definitions for scanning are received from a server on a network.
