Abstract

In order to understand the global virus spread, a system is either infected or not. If the system is infected, there is a possibility each day that it will have an infectious = contact with some other systems in the network via exchange of floppy disk or: software over the network of computers. Similarly, there is some other possibility each day that an infected system is discovered to be infected which is cleaned up and returned to the pool of uninfected computers. The integral number of time period past the moment when the process is started represents the states of the process which may be finite or infinite. The main aim of this work is to examine various ways of contacting or copying viral codes, their reproduction cycle and the preventive measures when computers are attacked by a virus. Also is to study why people write viral codes and give the. Ere economic consequences of viruses to organizations, so that they will be guided to controlling the spread of viruses. The work will be a useful guide to University ire eas and research institutions in the creation and control of viruses so that policy makers can enact laws for the management and control of viruses
