AKARTA: Antivirus vendors from all over the world gathered in Nusa Dua, Bali, for a conference starting Thursday to discuss malware.
Alfons Tanujaya, from vaksin.com, the conference organizing committee, said the 2010 conference attracted 150 participants from all over the world.
The annual conference, called AVAR for Association of Anti-Virus Asia Researchers, gets its main sponsorship from ESET, an antivirus vendor from Slovakia. ESET sent eight antivirus experts to the event, tempointeraktif.com reported on Thursday.
Alfons said AVAR was mainly an association of antivirus vendors in Asia Pacific, but it had grown and the 13th conference had attracted participants from countries outside Asia Pacific.
This is the first time Indonesia has hosted the AVAR conference, Alfons said. The previous 12 were held in places like Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Australia and China. — JP
