It may have been useful to include the definitions of the colours of the chart.

Still Have One Household system not listed in Signature running Defender for Protection along with Malwarebytes 4.0 Free,    based on this test,  should I also be switching that one to Avast Free like the other systems?     

If so i'll get that done immediately tonight

Whilst I'm no great fan of various virus test sites, etc.  The one thing that is clear, the earlier that a virus is stopped the better, e.g. at browser level and the web shield would appear to be doing just that backed up being stopped at system and analysis levels.
