South Korean anti-virus software provider Ahn has announced the formal opening of its virus processing center in China.

Located in Shanghai, Ahn China Virus Processing Center will be responsible for collecting and processing viruses, trojan horses, phishing reports and vicious code in China and will be providing services to Chinese users.

With the development and popularization of the Internet, China has become one of the main source regions for viruses and vicious codes, which has become a big threat to security for Chinese as well as global users. Companies and organizations like Sophos, Spamhaus, and Symantec typically rank China very high as a source of online security problems.
