For some people it may be a good idea to go ahead and install it on your system.

Doesn't the entire term 'zero day' indicate 'unknown vulnerability' ?

I'll wait for it to be integrated into the main Malwarebytes software. This is still a beta, so I don't think we should recommend it just yet

Its not like it an OS beta or anything like that, just a standalone program that may help some from getting infected. I have a couple clients that would get the early versions of the fbi ransomware infections at least a couple times a month.

On reddit they said it was the first beta. If it causes no harm then I agree with you, it might be a good idea.
