manju Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 quick math tells me that there's about 70% of market share only with those vendor's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 What I found interesting was what the rest of the article said wasWhile the overwhelming majority of devices surveyed had at least one antivirus engine installed, only 8.7% had run a full system scan in the last 7 days, meaning over 90% of devices had not run a full scan in that period, putting them at risk for infection and in possible violation of data security regulations.That means the majorly just relies on Real time they dont even do scans , ;) M$ and Avast owns most of the market share for years now so that's nothing new .. People are going to use whats free they always have regardless of what other AV test says best.. Because there not buying a key for you . :lol: If I go to someones home and they need a Antivirus and ant-malware I dont go looking for no free giveaway or crack . I just install Avast free and Malwarebytes free on it for them. Even my nephew who is going to collage to be tech that works on computers . They all have free Avast on there computers .In the real world no one looks for giveaways much are cracks they use what is free . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 https://www.opswat.com/resources/reports/antivirus-and-compromised-device-january-2015If you read in the article that the most installed anti-malware is Malwarebytes free they have 20% marketshare but the screenshot is for those that have real time. The reason for this many small business is to lazy or cheap to buy protection for there server and pay some tech to clean it up with Malwarebytes. They wait tell there been infected to fix it .That's why there talking about passing laws making them report when they been breached and making it law for them to get good protection .This is the overall report .

212eta Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Since AntiVirus means Real-Time Protection,the exclusion of Malwarebytes FREE,-which is just an On-demand/Malware Removal Tool-was resonable.Even Malwarebytes PRO,which offers Real-Time Protection,is an AV Complement and Not a full AV Substitute.Therefore, for the AV Vendors offeringcomplete AV solutions (i.e. Real-Time Protection included)Market Share (according to OPSWAT...) is the one listed HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Since AntiVirus means Real-Time Protection,the exclusion of Malwarebytes FREE,-which is just an On-demand/Malware Removal Tool-was resonable.You look in the pdf the 2nd page is what I posted .. Regardless of what OPSWAT says or real time Malwarebytes owns more of the market than the rest of them. That means many places dont even use real time and some just use it for a 2nd opinion. But still its used the most witch I find ironic because in test you posted before it ranked really low .Here is the page not just part of itIn the last week i've posted about 2 malwares that no antivirus can pickup they may well use free avast or something, there's too much evidence out there now that people put to much dependence on these programs and malware there releasing now days can get by them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212eta Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Regardless of what OPSWAT says orreal time Malwarebytes owns more of the market than the rest of them.Real-Time Malwarebytes?*** BUT ***The report refers to the on-Demand version of Malwarebytes; the Free version of Malwarebytes!!!

steven36 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Regardless of what OPSWAT says or real time Malwarebytes owns more of the market than the rest of them.Real-Time Malwarebytes?The report refers to the on-Demand Malwarebytes.The Free Malwarebytes; not the PRO one.Also its reported that what they say may not be true.Please note that OPSWAT is not a research institution and makes no claims on the accuracy of this data in the real world marketplace; this report aims to distribute the unique data collected to inspire public discussion, not to make any claims as to why changes have occurred. For a description of the data collection method and its limitationsLook how much MAM incensed in one year .20142015.Even back in 2014 the amount of users using all devices outranked the users who were using real time , they were just all using M$ witch Windows Defender was removed from the test in 2015 with WD removed its not very for real . :PConcerting the fact in Q4 that OPSWAT Report Finds 70% Windows Devices Out of Date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212eta Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Even back in 2014, the amount of users using all devices outranked the users who were using real timeThis was true for Microsoft and Malwarebytes only; not for the rest developers like avast!, ESET, Kaspersky, Avira etc. Why is this something of special importance?What has a report with data on System Health,like the OPSWAT Report Finds 70% Windows Devices Out of Date, to do with the Market Share of Antivirus products?

steven36 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ever heard of AppRemover ?It is the Free brother of OPSWAT GEARS...Yes its that crappy software that cant remove much stuff on x64 , Sure I know about it I use to post software on appznet and I stopped updating the topic because its not very good. There we were only allowed one topic for every software . But what i want to know how is App remover related to Gears besides its made by OPSWAT ?Gears does thisDetermine if Remote Users and Managed Devices are CompromisedAppromever dont do nothing but mostly remove anti malware programs form x86 some x64 but very little and a lot of its signatures are out of date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well, there you are with OPSWAT...They dont do the same thing . That's like MAM and MAE . I use MAE because it helps protect against exploits but I dont use MAM its ant-malware because I use Hitman Pro and NOD32. But I still install MAM free on people who are computer illiterate computers along with avast free some protection is better than none. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
