My own tests have shown three quite different results.
NPE was fast as it only scanned my C drive. It detected certain problematic programs which it marked as "Bad". However, it detected a couple of files (dll) in a temp directory which to my mind were genuine. I think they must relate to the Opera browser installation process.
EEK was more thorough. It took way much more time to complete the scanning. I did however configure it to scan three disks in addition to C drive. Strangely, it did not detect the suspicious programs that NPE found on C drive, but it did come up with a lot of suspect files on the other drives.
Zemana only found one registry entry that it considered to be dangerous. I don't think that it scanned drives other than C.
As you can see from the above real test there was no consistency in the results. You just don't know which program to trust as wholly reliable!
