It never states itself to be an anti virus.
It states compatibility with "most" anti virus applications and detects 
"malware" an anti virus application may miss.

There is no explicit nor implicit statement promoting the product as an 
"anti virus".

I am not wrong in this case and while occasionally I may be wrong, one can 
not ascribe "as usual" to me being wrong which confers thae idea that David 
H. Lipman is wrong more often than right.

Additionally, the derrogatory term "flimflam artist" can't be ascribed to 
Malwarebytes.  While they screw up and the management sucks, etc, they are 
an ethical and fair company.
