Good observation! I've had a couple of Antivirus 360 variants that didn't fit the usual profile for infected files. The active executables were Ide02.exe and p1p.exe. Malwarebytes caught these for me in a quick scan, in fact.
But I've also had it miss some smitfraud variants that SmitfraudFix catches. The main reasons I continue to run Spybot first in preference to Malwarebytes are that I think it usually catches more nasties than Malwarebytes does in quick scan, and additionally, it scans for redirected hosts. That certainly makes post-pest cleanup easier. Combofix alone will kill most Smitfraud variants, but if it doesn't find them all, I generally use SmitfraudFix.
My primary complaints with Malwarebytes Antimalware are that the quick scan isn't quite thorough enough, and the full scan is ridiculously slow. But, I've certainly had it succeed where other tools failed.
