Yes.. and? That's not a crime. His website offered a tool which upon installation would disable malwarebytes software. A direct attack, if you will. At that point, his program clearly became malware and was treated as such. -- "Hrrngh!

A user of *either* product/tool is highly unlikely to understand what is going on 'behind the scenes' and is putty in the hands of whichever facility they choose to employ.
