History

Establishment of AhnLab

Ahn Cheol-Soo (founder) found his computer infected with the computer virus called (c)brain. He developed a program to find and remove it and named it 'Vaccine'. Since then, anti-virus software has been called 'Vaccine software' in Korea. He distributed the antivirus program to the public without charge, until he established AhnLab in 1995. Dr. Ahn promoted his new company in 1995.[9][10]

Expansion

Since its founding in 1995, AhnLab has become one of the largest security software companies over 50% of market share in the Korean security market alone and approximately 500 distributors worldwide.[11][12] In September 2001, AhnLab was listed in the KRX: 053800. Headquartered in Seongnam-Si, Gyeonggi-Do, South Korea, AhnLab is traded on the KOSDAQ under the symbol AhnLab.

On the tenth anniversary of the company's founding (2005), Ahn Cheol-Soo resigned his position as the CEO, Kim Cheol-Soo was appointed as the successor.[7] Current CEO is HongSun Kim(appointed in 2008).[13][14]

AhnLab has been selected as one of the Korea's most admired company for five years from 2004 to 2010.[15][16][17]

On 4 October 2011, Ahnlab' Headquarters has moved to Seongnam-Si, Gyeonggi-Do.[18] On 29 March 2012, Ahnlab' Korean company name has been changed from (주)안철수연구소 to (주)안랩 by the annual meeting of shareholders.
