I was under the impression that Malwarebytes was a malware program but NOT an antivirus

You are correct, I misspoke. Your link to the actions of Malwarebytes is why I use it. We also pay for F-Prot. One of the most basic scanners I will run on a customer's machine is CWShredder. It's pretty amazing how much of the really old trojans continue to resurface.

Had another hard drive trashed by the WU virus Tuesday night, and spent last evening converting that dual-boot machine completely to Ubuntu. That was indeed the last straw.

Yep, all the machines I use are dual boot w/ Ubuntu, and it's my primary. 99% of my computer usage is online with Firefox. So, I don't even use most of the software that other folks need under Windows. Having Linux makes life so much simpler, especially since I use no less than 4 different machines daily. I was spending half my computing time fixing the computers.
