Abstract(in English) Almost all contemporary computer viruses spread through the network. Therefore, understanding how and how much a given computer virus will spread through the network is an essential and important problem in terms of evaluating the threat of computer viruses. The goal of this work is to reveal the relationship between the process of the spread of infection and the attack pattern. We start by classifying computer viruses that spread through networks in terms of their attack patterns, as either Random IP (attack repetitively after infection) Model or Mail (attack immidiately after infection) Model. We then propose mathematical models of the process of the spread of infection by viruses in each classes. We derive difference equations which explain the diffusion process in each case, and give some analysis result obtained by using these equations.
