Abstract: This paper investigates the propagation of computer viruses and establishes a novel propagation model. In contrast to the existing models, this model can directly indicate the impact of removable media and external computers on the propagation of computer virus. The stability results of equilibrium point are derived by Hurwitz criterion and Bendixson Dulac criterion. The effectiveness of the proposed results is shown by numerical simulation. In order to show the superiority of the proposed model, some comparisons with the existing models are presented. The acceptable threshold and the reasonable strategies for suppressing the propagation of computer virus are also suggested, respectively.
