Theyhave just OK type detection. They are no better than free securities of Avast, Avira etc. In fact in the consumer space most are using these free products. In the paid category the global players like Kaspersky, ESET, Norton etc. offer products in significantly lesser price.

On the B2B side, Quick Heal may have niche opportunities with the Government due to national security concerns, and SMEs. However, these are risky and difficult segments to crack, and distribution costs are high. B2B growth, transition to SaaS and realizations per client will need to improve significantly in the next year for a healthy growth story.


Cyber security market (now with the mobile antivirus) in India is still at the nascent stage. Revenues will grow and so will the profits as the market is huge but I dont think it can outplay its competitors but then we do know the future.


Another big competition of Quick Heal is with Jio Security. For Jio Prime users (essentially every Jio subscriber) Jio Security (Android) is free. Jio Security has licensed the paid version of Norton in their product. I am almost certain that they will also launch Jio Security for PC & Mac once the Jio broadband becomes public.


Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab on Tuesday announced it was rolling out a free version of its antivirus software across the globe, a product launch that comes amid mounting suspicion in the United States that the cyber firm is vulnerable to Russian...


It would be a boon if QH indeed starts to use Bitdefender engine in all its product, because their in-house engine has been mediocre. However, if they starts doing that, then their mergins will be hit further, because they will also have to keep the prices reasonable. Original Bitdefender products have better efficiency than the products which license BD engine and these are already available at significantly lower price than QH products in retailers and e-tailers (here vs here).


Nonetheless, Bitdefender has a free version with realtime protection. You can also find free realtime antivirus with BD engine (here) and also free on-demand scanners from companies that license BD engine (here & here).


Disc: No holdings. I have no personal propaganda against QH. In fact, QH was the product I used first time to clean my PC from malware infections. I would love to see an Indian company competing with the global giants in its own merit, and not just by advertising power and market reach.

InvestorPlace Avast: Making Tons of Money From Free Software InvestorPlaceIts popular free consumer security software leads to plenty of sales. Avast is a successful example of companies that take the "freemium" strategy.


As windows and other programs continue to get cloud based and Microsoft store develops like apple, there will be less need for security solutions. Currently most window copies are pirated, so you need a good antivirus. I personally use Norton internet security.


Thanks @anshuljain791 for creating this thread.

Looking at the financials I see that Sales/GFA has constantly dropped over years- from a high of 9.5x to right now at almost 1x. Just wanted to understand as to why would a technology company require such high Gross block because the sales have been flattish at least in the last 4 years.

VB's lab team battled with inconsistencies and unreliable behaviours in this month's VB100 test, but eventually managed to pull together some meaningful results. John Hawes names and shames the badly behaved products and reveals this month's VB100 winners.


Installation of the test systems was a fairly simple process, with the set-up process for the new platform closely mirroring that of Windows 7 and running smoothly on our shiny new batch of test systems. These were all fully supported from the off with no need for additional drivers etc. Having made a few standard adjustments, installed some useful software such as PDF viewers in case any help files might need perusal, and configured networking to fit in with our lab set-up, we were ready to take snapshots and move on to preparing the test sets. The most interesting aspect of the platform preparation process was the requirement for a small additional partition on the hard drive. Small adjustments to our reimaging set-up were required to ensure both partitions were reset to their original status for each test run.


The core WildList test set saw a sprinkling of new additions, with an early test deadline meaning we just missed the release of the March list; the sets were instead aligned with the February list, which included the same W32/Virut strain that caused some upsets last time around, as well as the venerable W32/Polip which was generally handled more solidly. New additions followed the trend of recent months, dominated by W32/Koobface worms with little else of particular novelty or interest.


The speed sets, used for our various performance measures, were tidied a little but remained much the same as usual. Some minor adjustments were made to the CPU and RAM usage measurement tools introduced recently (for a full explanation of these see VB, April 2010, p.23). With everything in place, testing proceeded without delay.


Scanning speeds were pretty zippy though, and both file access lag times and RAM consumption very light indeed. The core WildList and clean sets presented no difficulties, and avast! earns its first VB100 award under its new company name.


The flagship product installs quickly and easily, with no need for a reboot despite the multiple layers of protection included (many of which are not covered by our testing but should provide additional defence against attacks). As we have noted previously, the presentation of the many modules has some redundancy and makes the GUI a little cluttered and on occasion confusing to navigate, but there is a solid and respectable look and feel to it, and a good level of fine-tuning is provided for most purposes.


Scanning speeds were consistently fast, with some good, light on-access times, low CPU drain but surprisingly high RAM usage. Once again some excellent scores were recorded across the standard sets and also in the RAP sets. Full coverage extended to the WildList set, and with no false alarms in any of the clean sets Avira picks up another VB100 award.


Scanning speeds were pretty good on demand and not bad on access once the product had familiarized itself with the files; the resource usage graph also shows a pretty light memory and processor footprint. Some highly respectable detection figures were obtained in the main sets, with decent coverage across the RAP sets too. The WildList was handled effortlessly, and with no false alarms either BitDefender adds another VB100 award to its solid testing history.


In the performance tests, all four products were closely matched in terms of scanning speed (somewhat mediocre) and lag times (rather hefty). In the resource consumption measures, the Gateway Scan product showed some pretty high use of RAM throughout, while all the others were much lower on the same measure, performing quite favourably compared to the field. However, all were fairly high on CPU cycle consumption.


After a handful of misses in the WildList last time around, things were looking good when all four product versions managed a clean sweep of the latest list in both modes. An unlucky snag arrived in the clean sets however, when all four identified a tool provided by Microsoft as a trojan (several versions for different platforms were included in the clean set), and also misidentified another item from a prominent developer, thus denying Bkis its first VB100 award for a second month running.


Scanning speeds were fairly middling, with no sign of any optimization on repeat scanning and a fairly low resource footprint, but detection rates were respectable in the main test sets and pretty decent in the RAP sets too. There were no problems in the core certification sets, and Central Command earns a second VB100 award in a row.


A newcomer to the VB100 test bench, Coranti is the new face of a project which, under a different name, has been on the verge of joining the tests for some time. Still in beta, the product uses a multi-engine approach combining the detection capabilities of four separate solutions. First impressions were good, with a clean and smooth installation process which zipped through, although the initial update of all four engines did take quite some time, with something close to 250MB of data to download. This could present difficulties in some situations, and it might be preferable for the developers to provide their installer to customers with more recent detection data included, rather than making them install the product and then leave their machine less than fully protected for such a long time. Perhaps this will be implemented as the development process draws to completion.


The WildList set was handled without problems, and in the clean sets, where there was some danger of the multi-engine approach causing further problems, only a handful of suspicious warnings were raised, meaning Coranti can proudly join the ranks of VB100-certified products.


One oddity was noted when a large scan job, which ran for over 36 hours, came to an end without quite covering the full area requested, skipping over the last few folders. There was not enough time to retry the whole job, so just those sections of the test set that had clearly been missed out were re-scanned separately.


Detection rates were pretty solid, with high scores in the main sets and a decent showing in the RAP sets. The WildList caused no problems, and with no nasty surprises in the clean sets, eScan earns a VB100 award.


Further upsets were to follow, with both on-demand and on-access tests freezing and hanging frequently throughout scanning of the trojans and RAP sets. Some samples in the test sets appeared to trip up the engine, meaning that during the on-access tests the machine would occasionally start moving extremely slowly, while it was clear that all on-access detection had ceased. Oddly, after several forced reboots and continuations with the offending portions of the sets removed, we eventually found that protection could be restored simply by switching the on-access protection off and back on again (no easy task given the state of the machine, with every click taking an age to have any effect and the whole experience feeling like pushing a bus with no wheels up a steep slope). As the on-access tests would continue while this process was performed, it may have caused some samples to go undetected which would have been spotted had the product been fully functional, but given the time already taken up there seemed to be no other option.
