On July 1997 he published AV-ONLINE, the first anti-internet-virus software of Vietnam and in November, he finished writing the Internet censor-suppoting software, used for the Internet of the FPT company, one of the first three Internet service provider of Vietnam{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}.

On December 2001, Nguyễn Tử Quảng established the Bachkhoa Internet Security Centre (BKIS) along with Bạch Thành Lê and other seven people.<ref name = "echip"/> Then he became the Grand Director of BKIS.

==Criticism, controversy and misunderstanding==
Nguyễn Tử Quảng used to be highly criticized when he commercialized BKAV and started do business. He was called "merchant knight", implied that he make BKAV only for money. In respond, on an interview in 2009, he stated that his business is not only for money, as he always wants to create a free antivirus software for everybody. But as a lonely "knight" he can hardly help all the people, hence he and his colleagues need money to build a strong army of "knights" to serve everyone. And, according to Quảng, commercialization is a good way to make that money.<ref name="pv09">{{cite news|author=Nguyễn Văn Trung|title=Nguyễn Tử Quảng và tham vọng về "lò đào tạo hiệp sĩ"|url=http://dddn.com.vn/20091021052540778cat124/nguyen-tu-quang-va-tham-vong-ve-lo-dao-tao-hiep-si.htm|date=2009-10-23|accessdate=2010-09-26|language=Vietnamese|publisher=Doanh Nhân}}</ref>

Quảng was also criticized when he stated that BKAV can compete equally with the advanced software of USA, Russia,... He was called "bomb carrier", "explosive man", imply that he is blabbering and overestimating about the quality of his products. Quảng admired that he was very sad at the beginning, but he understands why people think that way and will try his best to prove his products' good quality.<ref name = "pv09"/>
