Abstract

A method, a system and a terminal device for virus scanning are described and related to the field of internet technology. The method includes: monitoring whether a terminal device performs a lock screen operation; determining whether a virus scan has been performed on the terminal device during a period from a time at which a security software program is installed to a current time; and if the virus scan has never been performed on the terminal device during the period from the time at which the security software program is installed to the current time, enabling the security software program to perform the virus scan.
