Microsoft Remains the Leading Anti-Virus Vendor, Research Shows
Microsoft’s security products are often criticized for their lack of features and poor efficiency, but according to a new research, Redmond is the leading anti-virus vendor right now.
Judging by the market share of its products, Microsoft has 25.4 percent of the anti-virus market thanks to Security Essentials and Windows Defender, a report published by OPSWAT shows.
Microsoft’s impressive market share is split between Security Essentials, installed on 67.7 percent of computers running security products provided by the Redmond-based giant, and Windows Defender, still protecting 30.7 percent of these systems.
