I wouldn't have thought to ask the question he asked, but it seemed like a
valid question to me.

Is it possible for a malware cleaner program to put it's own 'root-kit'
hidden somewhere and then say the system is clean?

I don't know what a root-kit is, but I've been reading some of the thread
off and on. Why get insulted that someone wants to put Malwarebytes to the
ultimate analysis? If nothing is wrong and it isn't doing anything wrong,
then the question should just be answered with a, "NO ... Malwarebytes
doesn't do that and here is the proof".......

I like Malwarebytes, myself, and have never had any problems using it, but
I'm not into analyzing malware and such things either. It's a business...
aren't they used to being put to the test?
