McAfee has announced plans to set up a centre in the Indian technology hub of Bangalore to monitor and counter virus attacks on computer networks worldwide.
California-based McAfee employs 100 researchers worldwide to identify virus attacks, develop software to prevent their spread and to monitor networks for possible threats.
Their job is like a commando operation and often gives them less than an hour to stop a virus from destroying computers, Mr Bolin said.
He said the new centre will improve McAfee's ability to monitor the internet and other networks round-the-clock, as Bangalore is located in the long time zone between the company's existing centers in Western Europe and Singapore.
