Antivirus market share report 2010

“42% of the product market is controlled by free products, while
vendors that primarily offer a free product have a 48% market share.
It would appear that end users have as much faith in the ability of
free antivirus applications to keep them secure as they do paid
antivirus.
Out of the 50 million endpoints that employ the OESIS Framework,
OPSWAT collected data from tens of thousands of volunteers. The
information collected from OPSWAT’s various tools had a high rate of
correlation. That is to say, when comparing reports, despite these
tools having different uses, percentages of antivirus product usage
were consistent. This consistency would suggest our data has a high
degree of reliability.”
