Abstract
A method for curing a virus of data used in a mobile terminal communicating with a server through a mobile communication network is provided. The method includes forming an antivirus program database on the server and continuously updating the database with antivirus programs; comparing state information of object data requiring virus checking by the updated antivirus programs among existing data stored in the mobile terminal with state information of the updated antivirus programs; and checking and curing the virus of the object data selectively.
Claims27
A method for curing a virus of data used in a mobile terminal communicating with a server through a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
- forming an antivirus program database on the server and continuously updating the database with antivirus programs;
- comparing state information of object data requiring virus checking by the updated antivirus programs among existing data stored in the mobile terminal with state information of the updated antivirus programs;
- and
- checking and curing the virus selectively.
A method for curing a virus on a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to download data from a mobile terminal;
- checking a virus of the requested data by using antivirus programs stored in a virus database;
- time stamping the checked data with a time stamp corresponding to a antivirus program which is stored in the virus database and which has been used to check the virus;
- and
- transmitting the time stamped data to the mobile terminal.
A method for curing a virus on a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- transmitting a request for state information about a virus database;
- receiving the state information;
- selecting object data based upon the received state information;
- transmitting information about the object data;
- receiving updated virus programs based on the transmitted information;
- checking a virus of the object data locally using the received updated virus programs;
- and
- updating a final time stamp of the object data.
A method for curing a virus on a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving parameter information about object data which requires virus checking from a mobile terminal;
- comparing the received parameter information with parameter information about antivirus programs stored on a server;
- based upon the comparison, deciding to check a virus of the object data on a server or on a mobile terminal.
