1. An image processing device comprising:
a communicator that executes external communication via a communication path;
a hardware processor that detects a virus by executing a virus scan within the image processing device, and cuts off the communication by the communicator upon detecting the virus;
a transmitter that executes communication, after the hardware processor detects the virus, to transmit a notification that the virus has been detected to a defined destination via another communication path; and
a receiver that executes communication to receive communication restoration trigger information via another communication path, wherein
once the receiver receives the communication restoration trigger information, the hardware processor executes a communication control to restore the communication by the communicator,
the communicator executes the communication via a local area network (LAN),
the transmitter executes the communication via a telephone line, and
the transmitter executes facsimile communication to transmit the notification to a facsimile receiver used by an administrator of the image processing device.
