I don't understand how this is a "market for lemons" is relevant here. I'm not sure what you're aiming to communicate. I did take the time to read the linked blog post but not the linked paper from there. There is no binary system of good or bad antivirus products but a spectrum and they all have different prices. They've been put to real (viruses and malware in the wild) and synthetic tests to test their efficacy by av-test and others. So they work, maybe not 100% but more than 99% on many benchmarks. Comparing it to a allegedly failed device like Secustick and claiming (not sure where's the evidence for it) there are no good security products and then saying it's "Because the popular commercial computer security product market is a "market for lemons":" seems like begging the question or confirmation bias or both I'd like to hear your thoughts. I hope I'm not trying to nitpick :)
