Analysis of a Model for Computer Virus Transmission

Abstract EN

Computer viruses remain a significant threat to computer networks.

In this paper, the incorporation of new computers to the network and the removing of old computers from the network are considered.

Meanwhile, the computers are equipped with antivirus software on the computer network.

The computer virus model is established.

Through the analysis of the model, disease-free and endemic equilibrium points are calculated.

The stability conditions of the equilibria are derived.

To illustrate our theoretical analysis, some numerical simulations are also included.

The results provide a theoretical basis to control the spread of computer virus.
