| 786590 | 2009-06-28 10:41:00 | I have just connected my cell phone to the computer, and was wanting to know if my anti virus (avast 4.8 home) can scan the phone (Samsung C5220).For some reason it doesn't show up when I go into My Computer, but it works with the software that came with the phone. Is there an AV for phones or should I not worry about this. Thanks |
