Abstract

We are presenting the numerical simulations for the stochastic computer virus propagation model in this manuscript. We are comparing the solutions of stochastic and deterministic computer virus models. Outcomes of a threshold number R₀ hold in stochastic computer virus model. If R₀ < 1 then in such a condition virus controlled in the computer population while R₀ > 1 shows virus rapidly spread in the computer population. Unfortunately, stochastic numerical techniques fail to cope with large step sizes of time. The suggested structure of the stochastic non-standard finite difference technique can never violate the dynamical properties. On this basis, we can suggest a collection of strategies for removing virus’s propagation in the computer population.
