Microsoft steals market share
Symantec and McAfee see drops in market share.
A report by analyst firm NPD Group has revealed that anti-malware heavyweights Symantec and McAfee both lost market share following the release of Microsoft's consumer product Live OneCare last year.

According to the report, Symantec's Norton product took 64.7% of the US retail market in the fourth quarter of 2006, down from 76% in the same period in 2005. McAfee's market share dropped from 14.4% in 2005 to 13% in 2006. Meanwhile, the news was happier for CA and Trend Micro, with their market shares jumping by 3.4% and 0.6% respectively. Just six months after its release, newcomer Microsoft Live OneCare took a respectable 4.4% of the market during the fourth quarter.
