Edit: I think I misread your post and what you were saying is that you do need to use Malwarebytes 3 with an antivirus.

You can but none of Malwarebytes' components (besides their anti-exploit) are particularly effective.

You could replace an AV with Malwarebytes but I am not sure you should. I know I would not even think about it.

If you have a problem with downloading PUPs then go ahead and replace your av with Malwarebytes. Their one of the best at PUP detection.
All other malware. I would not recommend it. My opinion.

You can but I would suggest not do so. In the past Malwarebytes was really fast, efficient and had great detection. Now it doesn't have great detection as before and heavy on resources. I hope they improve again someday.
In that instance I'd recommend Unchecky over Malwarebytes.

They should make Malwarebytes anti exploit+anti adware imo. I'd love a product like that. Anti-Exploit+ anti-adware components(including adwcleaner and JRT) would be light and work properly. That or just make a cloud version of anti malware.
Anti-exploit Premium was good. The free (now beta) version has always been absolutely pointless while EMET is still supported.

Malwarebytes can reenplazar to an antivirus, If but the consequences already not as seran... For my malwarebytes it does not give the height as antivirus.
Nope. We are taking over for a firm that used MBAM 3.0 as their only, and exclusive protection. ALL of the machines are infected and they'll be spending about 3K for us to clean them all up during onboarding.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this.

I mean, you can. Actually you can tweak your Windows a bit and not even use MalwareBytes and still not get infected. Everything relies on you. Your browsing habits, your online tasks and transactions, wether you connect from your house only or you visit public spaces.
On a regular life user, no, i would not rely on MalwareBytes as my primary solution. I'd better go with Windows Defender and use some on-demand scanner. Why are you trying to make MB your primary solution? Is it resource usage? There's plenty of software better and lighter. Search the forums and you'll find suggestions.

Malwarebytes is relying on its good reputation to convince people their product is an AV while it actually should remain in the anti malware category.
What this means is that worm detection, for example, is pretty low and signatures are very late compared do major engines like BD or Kaspersky.
On a regular basis, I would recommend to use Windows Defender and disable Malwarebytes real time protection. You can still use it as an on demand scanner.
My honest opinion.
