Abstract: Computer viruses present a substantial threat to our daily lives. Traditional models for the propagation of computer viruses primarily concentrate on network structures. In this paper, we take into account the constrained availability of resources in the context of computer virus prevention and control. We introduce a computer virus propagation model based on resource limitations. By examining the stability of both toxic and non-toxic equilibria within the model, we employ Matlab and Python for numerical analysis to simulate various computer virus propagation scenarios. Additionally, we present corresponding defense mechanisms for combatting these viruses.
