Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a storage device capable of storing image data, a task processing unit that accesses the storage device and executes a predetermined service task, and an anti-virus protection unit. The anti-virus protection unit applies a search for a computer virus at predetermined timing to the storage device, suspends the virus search when a request for service task processing involving access to the storage device is received during the virus search, and resumes the virus search after the service task processing requested is finished.
