Please define what you "think" is a "virus". I request that because all viruses are malware but not all malware are viruses. Just like all Ford cars are automobiles but not all automobiles are made by Ford. There is a taxonomy to malware classification. A true virus will find it hard to evade detection because by definition a virus self replicates that is it is able to spread from file to file or PC to PC autonomously. That action alone means it can and will be detected. Additionally, viruses are relegated to a very small fraction of the malware arena. Those that exist are old and well detected. It is very rare for a new virus to emerge. Trojans are another sub-type of malware and they can hide and evade detection by being stealthy and and not making themselves known by such actions as beaconing (aka; Phoning Home) or reaching out to a Command and Control (C2) puppeteer. Malware that does this is known as a Zero Day. The subject matter is complicated but Malwarebytes has always targeted Zero Day malware.
