so for my own amusement i grabbed my malware folder which ive been collecting for the past couple of month's containing 3722 malware samples and scanned them by ESET, Qihoo, MBAM and Agnitum.
just to compare their signature detection's and here are the result's:

Qihoo: 94.78% removed 3528 files
EEK (Emsisoft): 93.87% Removed 3494 files
ESET: 93.22% removed 3470 files
Agnitum: 76.19% removed 2836 files
MBAM: 71.86% removed 2675 files

Note: I did not do any other test's and we all know signature detection is not everything!

Technically speaking, Malwarebytes isn't an Antivirus.

Nevertheless, will more results be coming? :)

i cannot test the Installer AV's since im doing this on my actual machine. im not a tester guys i just did this for the fun of it with the av's installed on my own machine and my wife's.

BUT i can test the online/portable scanner's, so ill try EEK and Tiranium online scanner.
ill update my first post with new result's.

Removal is the most important to me! Unless your Anti Viruses are perfect. Looking forward to the your
tests. ;)

Tiranium and HouseCall both took more than 5 hours to finish scanning and cleaning and therefore i stopped them.

Nice test. Any reason just those 5 products were tested?
they were the ones i had on my machines on my home computers.

i dont have time to run VM's and do test's since im re-constructing and repairing the house but i might do more test's in the future when everything is more settled here ;)
