Abstract: Considering that anti-virus software needs a period to clean viruses and there is a temporary immunity for the recovered computers, a delayed computer virus propagation model based on the SIQR computer virus propagation model is proposed. Sufficient conditions for local stability of the positive equilibrium and occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation are obtained by regarding the delay as a bifurcation parameter and analyzing the distribution of the roots of the associated characteristic equation. Finally, a numerical simulation example is carried out to support the theoretical predictions. 
