It's far beyond the time that you (and others) drop the distinction
between virus, worm, dropper and trojan when discussing how those items
are detected by commercial software.  

While those items are different and have different characteristics and
functionality, those differences are not relevent at all when the issue
of their DETECTION and/or REMOVAL is being discussed.  And in case you
haven't noticed, there is a whole industry that exists for that sole
purpose of detecting and removing these "phenomena".

Whether we label this software as "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" or
anti-something-else is also irrelevent.

In the end, whether it's Malwarebytes or something else, we are dealing
with software that claims to be able to detect (and hopefully remove)
malicious files and other remnants of malware presence (registry keys,
etc) on a system.
