But the question remains.
Did you download a legitimate copy, that helped you.
Or did you find a hacked/unlocked copy on a warez blog somewhere, that was
itself laced with viri, trojans and other malware.

It baffles me why people would go to rogue sites to download copies of
programs that are FREE,....but it does happen.
I'm not saying the OP did it, but they never claimed they didn't.

malwarebytes is installed on my system, and it never did anything to my
files that wasn't already done before it was installed.
