What's with the diss on Malwarebytes?
Mainly because it's proprietary, privacy invasive by nature, and invasive on computers.
It’s also a shit product riding on marketing laurels from its past glory days, like Norton. It leaves pieces behind that can cause malware to come roaring back.
It isn’t hard to just nuke a system or restore a backup people.
Assuming that your backup isn't also infected.
