ABSTRACT:
A system, method and computer program product are provided for scanning a mobile wireless device for malware. Initially, an update command is received from a user utilizing a graphical user interface of a mobile wireless device. An anti-malware scanner installed on the mobile wireless device is then updated over a wireless network in response to the update command. The mobile wireless device is then scanned utilizing the updated anti-malware scanner. Such anti-malware scanner may be conditionally updated based on the update command so as to regulate usage of the wireless network with the mobile wireless device.
