VIEWPOINT: HWM Singapore editor David Chieng, caught up with Mr. David Hall, Regional Consumer Product Marketing Manager for Symantec Asia Pacific recently when they launched Norton 2010 products — namely Internet Security 2010 and AntiVirus 2010.

The two products leverage on a new model of security, codenamed Quorum, basically to detect new malware and advance beyond traditional signature- and behavior-based detection.

Anyway, here’s the ViewPoint video:

CORP TALK: HWM met up with the Mr. Miroslav Trnka, Chief Executive Officer and founder of ESET and Mr. Maros Mozola, Senior Vice President International Business of ESET in Hong Kong recently, when the company launched the 4th Edition of its ESET NOD32 Smart Security Suite 4.0 to the market.

Best known for its NOD32 Antivirus software, which runs transparently in the background with little strain on system requirements, the Bratislava, Slovakia-based company (with a global distribution office in San Diego, USA) has been in Europe for 22 years and is now continuing its focus to grow within the Asia Pacific region.

UPDATE (16 July): Version 2 Singapore, the distributor of ESET products in Singapore, has notified us that the ESET Antivirus 4.0 & Smart Security 4.0 will be launched on 1 August in Singapore. The ESET NOD32 Antivirus (Standard Edition, 1-User for 1-Year) will cost S$40 while the ESET Smart Security (Standard Edition, 1-User for 1-Year) will cost S$60.

Here are some photos from the Hong Kong launch itself (held on 29 June 2009). One-on-one interview transcript to follow after the break.
