It believes the business model of the pre-loaded anti-virus on a PC does not work because the anti-virus company has to pay the OEM for the preloaded software, which results in it losing money. On the PC side of things the company is focusing on the channel business with corporates, rather than traditional consumers channels. The company has nearly 30 offices around the globe and a presence in more than 100 countries, with Security Lab operations in Helsinki and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
