I want to scan my Android phone from my Windows 10 PC.

I would prefer not to download a special app on either device to scan my Android phone for viruses, but I cannot find a way to scan for viruses from my PC. I have found how to automatically scan (and manually scan) USB drives, but I do not have an option to do that for my mobile device. If anyone has a suggestion to try, I'm willing. I'm also not unwilling to use PowerShell and CommandPrompt.

DONT connect your mobile to your PC atm. Viruses that does nothing to phones, but just waits for a PC to get transfered to has skyrocketed the past month.

For this reason.

Its a new way to get into win 10, since win 10 is almost unbeatable itself now.

Mobile phones is not. 

Use sync services to move your pics and videos etc, and backup via wi-fi with the phone service. Thats 100% safe.

Plug in your mobile in USB, where you do not have a specific software for checking USB for new injectors, Specter V2, Bitlocker malware and the new win 10 user destroyer which keept Microsoft busy lately (new security patch any day now about that).

You can not scan for win 10 viruses on phones. Unless its a microsoft phone with a specific app for that, and they lost the battle of the phones.

Iphones and Android phones is not the same "language" as linux/windows/C64/Unix/Solaris.

All phones has excellent backup, syncs, and "share" features to move your stuff from your phone to google drive, dropbox, Icloud, one-drive, whatever.

THATS safe. 

I have Win 10, home version. Had since 2014. Love it.

A few weeks ago, Bitlocker activated itself and bitlocked my H drive, and sent the key somewhere fake.

Since I have home version, where bitlocker cant be activated, and I have no H drive. The event logs that specificly recorded the whole things, was very interesting to microsoft.

I had my android phone in the usb to update it via motorolas update tool on PC, and do backup as I always do. Works fine. That was "drive" H atm.

A picture Ive taken with the camera, got infected via facebook messanger app (not messanger via the webadress), when a new user sent me a message with a smily. Since the smily did nothing to the phone, facebook app or android, it got through, and injected a random picture, which executed the bitlocker command as soon as that picture was transfered via USB to my PC.

I have malwarebytes, the free version, which blocked the injector from doing anything. But the command gets recorded in event viewer, since its executed as YOU.

Viruses on mobile phones is not a serious threat yet. The hardware is simply to ****. Cant do much, heh.

Mobile phone real threat is your privacy and control over your cam + where your phone is.

Iphones are a bit more protected, since its apple who decides everything. But they are not safe from people you do not know, getting access to your cam, where your phone is, and listening to your call if you use any internet service and not just regular phone/sms.

New phones, has built in protection against this, and google analytics is pretty damn good at not getting fooled to give away anything (It knows everything about you), but this can change quickly, and Google play store, already have an increasing problems with apps which are spying on you, as well as doing what you paid it for.

Use the phone as a phone, and you dont have to worry atm.
