Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.36
"Just a basic removal tool for rogueware"
Pros: Excellent detecting and removing rogue software like WinAntiSpyware 2009.
Cons: The name is misleading, it is not an Anti-Malware program. If fails to detect and remove many malwares that other products have no problems removing.
Summary: It may be useful to remove some of the most common rogue programs that other products miss but it is not a anti-malware program and fails very short of the name "Anti-Malware". Many people believe this program will protect them if they buy it, but it won't because it only detects very few malwares compared to others like avast, Spybot, AVG, Norton, Kaspersky, Avira, CounterSpy, Spyware Doctor, etc. Only should be used as an extra removal tool, not as a real-time anti-malware program.

It is interesting that you mention VB100 as all of those applications show up in help forum malware removal threads but not as clean up tools . They show up as bypassed software that Malwarebytes comes to aid of to remove the malware they have missed . I encourage anyone reading this to check the applications listed on VB100 against help forum threads to see if they show up as the tool that saved the day or the tool that was already installed and failed , then do the same for Malwarebytes .
More than 11 million people downloaded Malwarebytes from this site so if even 1% of what you say is true , where are the 1.1 million negative reviews ? -
If this program as good as what those forums say it is, then why didn't have a VB100 certification from Virus Bulletin? Any product without VB100 certification is less efficient than the others.

Then why do all of the help forums use Malwarebytes and not the ones you have listed ?
You can make claims but you cant undo google and people will attempt to verify both of our claims exposing you as nothing more than someone looking to start trouble .
To verify google "Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis" and malwarebytes , I encourage everyone reading this to do this .
