Non-rhetorical question:

Is there a source of data showing 10,000 machines with AV are less
likely to be infected than 10,000 machines without?

To the best of my knowledge there are no epidemiological studies of AV 
s/w such as could tell us the answer to this question, or the related 
one "in the field, which of products X, Y or Z actually affords the 
best protection".
