( ... )
MBAM (3%) detection on almost 2-year old samples ?
oh...
( ... )
That is very worrying ... Mainly because it's anti-malware usually indicated here on the forum on issues involving malware at its root ... Hopefully these "loopholes" in detections are urgently remedied!
Congratulations for this thread!

Just a quick note:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/ didn't published this results.
It was published on it's forums by Sujay (regular poster but as far I know he is not a writer in raymond blog)
So, as far as I can remember It was never published on raymond.cc and it is in no way officially connected with their testing.
It is an independent test done by their forum poster.

who said that "raymond.cc/blog" published it ?
but perhaps you are referring to the first line in the post:
"PC help and news website raymond.cc has published an amateur test... " ?
It is an independent test done by their forum poster.
yes, and you can see that in the first line: "...amateur test..."
also look at the URL i posted:
"http://www.raymond.cc/forum/spyware-viruses/21574-testing-the-on-demand-detection-of-different-av-with-old-malwares.html"

I am not criticizing you.
I am just pointing out at misleading information posted by Emsisoft press group:
"PC help and news website raymond.cc has published an amateur test which results we do not want to keep quiet about.
As you can see it misleads reader to think it is an official test processed and published by www.raymond.cc (which is wrong)
And next statement was just to justify my previous one
EDIT: ok, I see actually thier title was more clear (which I haven't noticed before):
"Raymond.cc user test with old Malware"

jav: no worries, i did not take it as any critic against me.
and please read my previous post again, as i edited while you replied.
yes, i agree that the present expression IS misleading.
i also first read it as an "Official" test by raymond.cc, only when i read the "full" story i realized it was a forum-post.
anyway, if those results for MBAM is correct, it once again shows that EAM has better detection-rate than MBAM...
EDIT: you are right, the title says "...user test...", but i didnīt see it, i just read the text below.

Thank you, Corrine. Unfortunately, where I found that quote, no credit was given.

The Wilders thread merely indicated nosirrah. Anyone not familiar with MBAM wouldn't know who he is.
Personally, I don't put much credence in user tests. It is also sometimes difficult to put much credence in many of the tests we see on the Internet since they are sponsored by security vendors. As the saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding" or, in this case, the proof is in the results we, as users, experience.
