Propagation of computer virus both across the Internet and external computers: A complex-network approach

•This paper addresses the effects of the Internet topology and external computers on computer virus spreading.•An epidemiological model is established.•The unique (viral) equilibrium of the model is globally attractive.•Computers with higher node degrees are more susceptible to infections than those...
