Remember when we were all throwing Malwarebytes onto the desktops?  It was all the rage for a while.  Seems as if that ship has sailed.  Case in point:

 - Within a few hours the AV coverage rate, as seen via VirusTotal, was only up to 3 of 54 "solutions":

- What is the coverage rate this morning you may ask?  A full 3 days later?  Only 31 of 54.  Guess who is still AWOL:
