I wouldn't be worried about emsisofts results, version 2018.3 was tested and there's now New in 2018.4: Fine tuning, new management interfaces and with more improvements to come in next updates, emsisoft will return to grace. I have no doubts about them. (y)

Also this
We would like to point out that while some products may sometimes be able to reach 100% protection
rates in a test, it does not mean that these products will always protect against all threats on the
web. It just means that they were able to block 100% of the widespread malicious samples used in a
test.

LOL

As many have mentioned, take this test, and these tests in general, with a grain of salt.

  • DO NOT represent your real actual system
  • DO NOT give an exact percentage of protection a software would provide
  • DO NOT work as the only valid opinion when choosing a security product
  • Should only be taken as a tool to compare software but not as a decision-maker

And once again, just to make sure:

TAKE THIS TESTS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
