If we take the claims of every AV Vendor at face value we must conclude that aliens are buying AV on Earth. The human population with access to computers just isn't enough for everyone to be right...

its funny i have tried them all but dont like most of them I know there all good products and if not looking for malware im sure evryone will
protect you but i find quirks with them
1.kaspersky just seems like im always updating data base manually that bothers me.
2.Mcafee my saying it gives you everything but the kitchen sink
3.Eset i have never had a problem uninstalling until a topic here a few weeks back that it never uninstalls well 2x it now has happened to
me both safe mode removal and internet sometimes did not work for me a few times had to reboot.
4,Norton sometimes sonar works sometimes it does not
5 Avast it just feels like all they want to do is sale you something more a Sams club then a security program
6,Avira cant stand the umbrella thing in taskbar reminds me of panda with little panda bear bad enough
7.Comodo wont even discuss we all know
the only security program that seems to work for me with really no problems is Gdata i know bitdefender clone but it just
works the best on my machine.
as i said before they all are going to protect you it just comes down to what you the user feels most comfortable with no matter
who or what anyone or any site says.

I thought it was just me regarding the Avira umbrella - I'm over finiky about icons in the first place but it's probably the main reason I refuse to use Avira - Emsisoft need a better icon than the minuscule one they have too 
in fact, i know how these numbers may be accurate, you have a secret group of guys installing all those AVs at same time on hundreds of VMs, but because they are idiots, they think they have to put a new license every time they reset the VM

In the end, the one who will take the Cat to the Water will be WD, it is growing a lot at the User level and at the Company level, and rightly so.

Note: it's an enterprise level market share and not for home users. 30,000 enterprises is a fair reach, but still not there yet.

Kudos to Symantec, Avira and ESET for staying a bit humble than the others

In some places Avira says that they have more than 500 million users.

In the OEM blog and in the cloud whitepaper they repeat the 500 million users number:

Indeed, they should update their own websites and choose which number is correct.
Do they count people who died?
haha i was thinking the same.
But they probably count only downloads or installs.
WD is the only one that could be true since is part of windows

3.2 Billion people have access to the Internet in the world... I believe if you add statistics from all vendors you already have more than that...

Simply divide the numbers by 2 and they will better reflect the reality, for sure.
