Study says free software dominates antivirus market

寒山竹语

According to a study by OPSWAT, free antivirus software is most popular amongst users. OPSWAT retrieved their data from Windows users who use some of their applications; AppRemover, an application designed to uninstall security applications and Am I Oesis OK? which detects whether security applications are compatible with other applications that a user may be running. They said that rather than building the reports based on vendor reported sales and download figures, "...we are able to present the following report based purely on the detection of the applications that tens of thousands of users actually have installed on their endpoints."

Free antivirus products took the top four spots in the in the study with avast! Free Antivirus in the top spot followed by Avira AntiVir  Personal, AVG Antivirus Free and Microsoft Security Essentials. "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." The two names that used to dominate the antivirus market, Symantec (Norton) and McAfee, are starting to lose their grasp to their free competitors.

Another interesting fact stated in the report is that 52% of antivirus vendors, AVAST, Avira, AVG, ESET, Panda, BitDefender, G Data and Sophos, are based in Europe while 31%, Symantec, Microsoft, McAfee, PC Tools and Sunbelt, are based in the US.

类似新闻中文版：

　　OPSWAT最新的研究报告指出，免费反病毒软件最受用户欢迎。OPSWAT通过旗下的AppRemover安全软件卸载工具收集了Windows用户信息，OPSWAT公司表示：“我们并没有收集反病毒厂商的销售和下载量信息。相反，我们研究了上万名用户的反病毒软件安装信息。”
　　OPSWAT研究报告显示，avast!免费版是最受欢迎的免费反病毒软件，其次是Avira AntiVir个人版（小红伞），AVG免费版和Microsoft Security Essentials（微软免费杀软）。
　　据OPSWAT统计，免费反病毒软件控制着42%的安全软件市场，免费反病毒软件厂商的产品市场份额甚至高达48%。由此可以看出，最终用户认为免费反病毒产品要比付费产品更值得信赖。赛门铁克（诺顿）和McAfee二大传统安全软件开发商正在逐渐流失市场份额。”
　　OPSWAT还有一项有趣的统计数据，欧洲反病毒软件厂商AVAST, Avira, AVG, ESET, Panda, BitDefender, G Data和Sophos的总市场份额为52%，美国反病毒软件厂商微软，赛门铁克，McAfee, PC Tools和Sunbelt的总市场份额为31%。
