Since the test was commissioned by PC Pitstop, I thought it would be appropriate to chime in.
As several have pointed out, this is just one test, and there will be many more to come. Our view is that customers should know how their AV products rate, and should look at multiple tests, not just one, to make that determination. We also feel that vendors should embrace third party testing, and use it as an additional arm of Quality Assurance, to help figure out where there may be defects in the product or in processes.
There are other 3rd party tests, not commissioned by PC Pitstop, which show how MalwareBytes 2.0 performed. One such test was done by MRG Effitas, https://www.mrg-effitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/MRG-Effitas-360-Assessment-Q4-2016.pdf , called the MRG Effitas 360 Degree Assessment & Certification.
