Abstract
In this paper, the SECIR rumor spreading model is formulated and analyzed, in which the social education level and the counterattack mechanism are taken into consideration. The results show that improving education level and increasing the ratio of counter are effective in reducing the risk of rumor propagation and enhancing the resistance to rumor propagation.

Summary
Rumor is a kind of social phenomenon that an unverified account or explanation of events spreads on a large-scale in a short time through people’s communication [1] [2] [3]. Nekovee et al [22] introduced the SIR model with forgetting mechanism and derived mean-field equation that describes the dynamics of rumor spreading process. His studies show that the SIR model is suitable for chain emails and large-scale information dissemination algorithms on the Internet. Zan et al [25] considered the counterattack mechanism in the SIR model and introduced two models: Susceptible-infective-counterattack-Refractory (SICR) model and adjusted-SICR model They derived mean-field equations to describe its dynamics in homogeneous network and involve steady-state analysis.
