Detection rates:
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: 8.6%
Avast:

I got a response in regards to MBAM's bad detection rate.
How exactly do you run these tests?  is your malware collection housed on disc ( from before)?

If the latter, that is not how current modern-day malware comes in. This means your testing is invalid.
