Salutations,

Well, first of all we have to take into consideration that Malwarebytes is not a full sledged antivirus product. Although it has real-time protection for the premium version, it is simply not good enough to take on 0-day malware. On the other hand, it is especially good at removing malware that is on a system as can be seen here. I would not base my opinion on Malwarebytes based on its detection rate but by its ability to remove malware that lurks on a system. So in conclusion, no. their detection rates have not increased.

What you say is true! So,the benefit of having Malwarebtyes is their repairing. The two best security at repairing are Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Kaspersky. Appreciate!

Look over:

Thank you! For a different way of looking at things. So,layering of security software is still the best way to go! And like lawyers and doctors, specializing in an area has there benefits.
For Example, Trojan Killer and Loaris Trojan Remover specializing in a current area of malware removal. And Adwcleaner!

If you wish to have MBAM 2.1 download Beta first, do update and then you will get pop-up "there is a new version".

I noticed there is only a Database update, but no Program update? Will the release of MBAM 2.1.x require an over-the-top installation?

I tried this version today and I must say that I really like this new polished UI. Also performance during scanning was really good.
Scan took about 10 minutes. Ads are nicely placed. Well done. :)

Regards,
Kardo
