It is interesting to note that Malwarebytes is now being purported to be 
an *anti-virus* programme!

Indeed, it has been certified as such by West Coast Labs!

ID=516&techGroupID=27&from=v

I've always understood that one should only ever have one AV product 
active at any one time, yet MBAM claims that it "Compatible with most 
major antiviruses"  http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/

Have you any idea how Malwarebytes can do that when none of the other 
providers can do so?
