Sality is a file infecting virus.  If the PC was infected than NUMEROUS 
files would be flagged as infected.  This must be a F/P.

Note also that Malwarebytes is not an anti virus application so it is 
expected that it would not detect Win32/Sality.  At best it would detect a 
Win32/Sality dropper.  That is a file that isn't infected with Sality but 
will start a Sality infection.
