Webroot® Bests Norton and Others in Total
Unit Sales at Retail
Webroot Captures 26.8% of the PC Security Market in May to Take
Retail Sales Lead
BOULDER, Colo. (Business Wire EON) June 30, 2008 --
Webroot, a
leading provider of security software for the consumer, enterprise and
SMB markets, today announced that it has taken the top spot in Publisher
Sales in units for the entire security product market for the month of
May by capturing 26.8% of the retail security market.
The market share comparison is the result of the latest numbers being
reported by The NPD
Group, a leading global provider of consumer and retail market
research information. In the latest results, Webroot led Symantec and
Trend Micro while thoroughly dominating McAfee and Microsoft. The report
included sales from leading software retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit
City and Amazon.com.
“We believe the latest market data represents
a clear indication that consumers are not satisfied with
under-performing desktop security products that can dramatically slow
down the performance of the PC as they consume significant processing
power,” said Paul
Lipman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer
Business Unit at Webroot. “Webroot’s
products such as Spy
Sweeper and Webroot
AntiVirus with AntiSpyware have demonstrated superior performance
and protection and we believe they provide home PC users with a superior
choice.”
Webroot PC security products are used by over 6 million customers and
have received numerous press awards including nine PC Magazine Editor’s
Choice awards. With a broad portfolio of security products including
Webroot Spy Sweeper, Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware, Webroot
Parental Controls, and Webroot Window Washer, Webroot provides multiple
layers of PC protection with powerful, high-performance security
solutions that are easy to use.
