Finally, some feasible strategies of eradicating electronic viruses are advised.
Due to the compelling analogy between electronic viruses and their biological counterparts [1, 2], a multitude of computer virus epidemic models, ranging from SIS models [3, 4], SIR models [5, 6], SIRS models [7], SEIR models [8], SEIRS model [9], SLBS models [10 12], SLAS model [13], SIPS model [14], to delayed models [7, 15] and stochastic models [16, 17], have been proposed.
Recently, Yang et al. [30, 31] analyzed the impact of the structure of the propagation network on the spread of computer virus, and they proposed a node-based epidemic model, which can help us better understand how the electronic viruses diffuse on networks.
Some tightly controlled, almost robotically repetitive in their imagery, others more freehand in their doodling, they evoke man-made and natural phenomena, among them patterns from nature, electronic circuitry, virus colonies, active spermatozoa, musical notations.
UBS A.G. said a new electronic-mail virus was aiming at software used by its online-banking customers.
CONSIDER the recent string of electronic events: A virus that becomes known as the love bug causes nearly $1 billion worth of damages as it ravages computer systems across the world.
Some researchers have exploited the framework of compartmental modeling in epidemiology and tried to introduce the concept of networks-based models either for the description of social contagion processes as done in [19] or for the study of the propagation of electronic and computer viruses as in [20, 21].
But there is far more growth potential in the market for network security products, which use encryption to protect private networks and electronic commerce systems from viruses and intrusions.

By inserting the prefix micro- "small" into this same compound, they make the new term photomicrography, denoting the electronic photographing of bacteria and viruses.
