According to AV-Comparatives the below programs got an Advanced ***
Tencent
Bitdefender
Kaspersky Lab
eScan
VIPRE


from the test above an important fact:"
Good malware detection is very important to find existing malware that is already on a system.
However, a high protection or detection rate of a product does not necessarily mean that a product
has good removal abilities. On the other hand, a product with low detection rate may not even find
the infection and therefore not be able to remove it."

And Eset, F-Secure, Emsisoft... And it looks kind of suspicious when you see they have added Enigma Software Spyhunter to the test.
There's nothing suspicious, particularly when you consider it performed very badly.
Bringing up the rear is Enigma Software with SpyHunter. While it did capably solve 32 test cases, in 6 instances it did not even detect the attacker.
