Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a controller that executes virus quarantine using a pattern file, and a storage that stores the pattern file. The controller, when being connected to a network, determines whether the pattern file stored in the storage is updatable, and when it determined that the pattern file is updatable, the controller updates the pattern file, and executes virus quarantine by using the updated pattern file.
