It seems that Microsoft's Windows OneCare has successfully made the first move, and began to rapidly occupy a place in the antivirus market. It is reported that the reason for OneCare's rapid promotion in the United States is mainly due to its low wholesale price, with the lowest price even reaching $11.
By July, Microsoft's share of the US anti-virus suite market had reached 15%. This month's statistical report will be even higher. However, the current problem faced by OneCare is that it only has an English version and can only be installed on English versions of Windows, which has caused many inconveniences for global promotion.
The rapid rise of OneCare has overshadowed many old-established antivirus software. Symantec, which held an absolute advantage, saw its market share drop by 10%, while McAfee dropped by 3%.
