Advice Request What is the preeminent American anti virus company?

Which US company most represents the US in this arena?

Dare I say Norton and Windows Defender?

With Webroot and Malwarebytes getting honorable mentions.

I guess Norton or McAfee? Comodo is onto the best concept, but I think they still lack a hands off endpoint option for workstations. For companies a very sophisticated network monitoring system is required in accompaniment to the endpoint software. Don't think they have anything that has gotten anyone's attention...

i think symantec.

I considered Comodo Japanese. Maybe they are US based

If so, huge boost to US ability

McAfee and Symantec without doubt.

+1. Definitely those two.

I think it's Norton. Most reviews that I have read proves that Norton is the best consumer-security software in terms of overall virus protection and performance, as measured by detection rates and speed. Also, I have been using Norton for a couple of years and I am very satisfied with its' security and protection features.

Norton is one of the oldest names in the business and is massive, market share globally is impressive let alone just in the US.

COMODO corporate headquarter office is in New Jersey, USA.

But Melih got started over in England. He founded COMODO in England back in 1998, then moved to the U.S. in 2004.

Melih is from Turkei.

Of all U.S. AV produces, Malwarebytes has the largest share of the global market - in large part due to its free version (most people refuse to pay).

If you measure what has been installed after it has been paid for - and has remained on the system, then the statistics are a lot different.

One set of measurements and statistics is virtually never comparable to another set because what and how things are measured is completely different.
