Yet Another Cleaner, Yet Another Stealer:https://blog.malwarebytes.org/fraud-scam/2015/03/yet-another-cleaner-yet-another-stealer/
Alright, so it looks like Yet Another Cleaner is straight up stealing our detection database and modifying it for their own means. Based on the fact that they only detected a very small portion of the tons of malware we had both YAC and MBAM scan, their scanner apparently uses a slimmed down version of the one utilized by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. We also know this because we actually analyzed a memory snapshot of their software in action.
