Has such an independent check been carried out? Maybe Malwarebytes itself should commission an independent check by a reputable organisation (how about Sophos?) and have the results posted on the 'net to which anyone might refer if concerned about the organisation's integrity.

In that event, perhaps you yourself should pay to have an independent lab do the work you so desperatly want done. On your dime, as I see no reason for malwarebytes to spend unneccessary funds to prove what everyone else already knows; it's a safe and reliable program. -- Are you a former BBSer?

You get away with saying whatever you like about Dustin Cook because he doesn't have the financial resources to pursue UK High Court action, but if your solicitor doesn't warn you that you're walking on dangerous ground when you post defamatory innuendos against corporations with big bank balances then you need to find a better solicitor. Here's some serious free professional legal advice David: "Keep your garrulous trap shut before one of the anti-malware vendors you libel takes away everything you own."
