The Impact of Network Topology on the Spread of Anti-Virus Countermeasures
Overview Are there properties of networks that affect the spread of anti-virus countermeasures? Is countermeasure spreading more effective through one network than through another? This paper investigates this problem by simulating the impact of network topology on the effectiveness of anti-virus countermeasures. It simulates the spread of countermeasures based on the idea that computer viruses and countermeasures spread through two separate complex networks - the virus-spreading network and the countermeasure-spreading network. This problem can be though of having countermeasures act as competing species against computer viruses.
