Wonder why I bother with it and MBAM, none has found anything in my system for couple of years, WD scoops it first.

Maybe because even though Windows Security might be, now, one of the top security solutions out there, it is also the one that has the most false positives, so a second opinion is always recommended.

Once WD catches it there's no second opinion.
