Abstract

An increase of computer viruses in recent years caused big damage on the Internet or intranet in public offices and enterprises. The damage influences at the life of the people and becomes serious problems. This paper aims to study anti-virus policies to limit damage of network system from aspects of network operation. The authors propose a diffusion model of computer viruses using agent-based approach and clarify diffusion phenomena by simulations. They also consider countermeasures against computer virus propagation by means of aforesaid method.
