【 摘 要 】

To investigate the use of classical epidemiological models for studying computer virus propagation we described analogies between computer and population disease propagation using SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Removed) epidemiological models. By modifying these models with the introduction of anti-viral individuals we analyzed the stability of the disease free equilibrium points. Consequently, the basal virus reproduction rate gives some theoretical hints about how to avoid infections in a computer network. Numerical simulations show the dynamics of the process for several parameter values giving the number of infected machines as a function of time.
