Capturing the interplay between malware and anti-malware in a computer network
作者：
Highlights：
• The impact of anti-malwares on malicious objects in a network has been studied.
• Approach similar to viral dynamics in vivo is adopted to model computer virology.
• A threshold R requisite for attaining infection-free network is obtained.
• Baseline potency of anti-malwares is found to have a large impact on threshold R.
• An expression for critical baseline potency of anti-malwares is obtained.
