Abstract
An image forming apparatus for executing virus detection processing on received data includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor is capable of executing either first acquisition process for downloading and acquiring a pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an external network or second acquisition process for downloading and acquiring the pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an internal network or a connected storage device. The hardware processor switches between the first acquisition process and the second acquisition process in accordance with a usage environment of the external network.
Claims17
An image forming apparatus for executing virus detection processing on received data, comprising a hardware processor, wherein
- the hardware processor is capable of executing either first acquisition process for downloading and acquiring a pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an external network or second acquisition process for downloading and acquiring the pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an internal network or a connected storage device, and
- switches between the first acquisition process and the second acquisition process in accordance with a usage environment of the external network.
A method for controlling an image forming apparatus that performs virus detection processing on received data, the method comprising:
- performing one of first acquisition process of downloading and acquiring a pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an external network and second acquisition process of downloading and acquiring the pattern file used in the virus detection processing from an internal network or a connected storage device;
- and
- switching between the first acquisition process and the second acquisition process depending on a usage environment of the external network.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer-readable program to be executed by a hardware processor of an image forming apparatus for performing virus detection processing on received data, the program causing the hardware processor to perform:
- executing one of a first acquisition process of acquiring a pattern file to be used in the virus detection processing by downloading the pattern file from an external network and a second acquisition process of acquiring the pattern file to be used in the virus detection processing by downloading the pattern file from an internal network or connected storage devices;
- and
- switching between the first acquisition process and the second acquisition process depending on a usage environment of the external network.
