It *IS* an Antivirus program - even you just said "Be that as it may..."
which is to say even you agree with the definition of "Malware".

If "Malware" includes "viruses" then MalwareBytes can (and does) remove
viruses.

In it's literature it states it deals with : viruses, worms, trojans,
rootkits, dialers, spyware, and malware (general).

Although, you do not get the "resident protection" unless you pay for
it.

Why is it so hard for you to realize that "Malware" is a general term
that encompasses ALL "nasty" invasive code?

Even the word "Malware" should clue you in to it's definition - Mal -
from the french Malarde meaning "ill"...

I think that you will find that the term "Malware" included all types
of
malicious code that can find it's way on to your computer.

Wikipedia describes it as including: Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses,
most
Rootkits, Spyware, dishonest Adware, Crimeware and other malicious and
unwanted software...

Be that as it may... Malwarebytes can't find a "virus". It is not an
AV program.

Download and run MalwareBytes AV scanner.

I doesn't scan for viruses (virii?), it scans for malware.

Entirely different.
