In today's era, there exists variety of mobile forensic tools both proprietary as well as open source tools and this generation of mobile forensic tools is evolving at a faster pace with new features which mainly focuses on the deep penetration into the mobile handheld to optimize the mobile forensic process and mainly extraction and decoding of mobile artifacts. But a bit less attention is provided towards the integrity of the digital evidence obtained. There are many factors that can alter the data and the use of antivirus software is one of the prominent factors among them. The importance of antivirus software in the machine could not be denied and hence its systematic use if done, will not only save the digital evidence from the malwares but also saves it from the antivirus software itself. The proposed work describes how the EIAM (Evidence Integrity Assurance Mechanism) plug-in handles the antivirus software in a smart optimized way.
