ABSTRACT:
A method and system for detecting viruses on handheld computers. The handheld computer is in communication with a computer system having a virus detection program. The method includes reading data from the handheld computer and writing the data at least temporarily to a database on the computer system. The data is scanned for viruses with the virus detection program. The method further includes updating data on the handheld computer based on results of the scanning.
