I don't know if Malwarebytes has the stuff to detect ransomware.
It would seem to me in the best interests of the ne'er do wells to hide it well so it couldn't be removed without major surgery.
There's one other possibility that I've heard of — fake ransomware attacks,
Good that you went proactive, but it's possible the only threat was an empty one, that there was no ransomeware.
Sort of like the 'Your Flash Player is out of date. Click here to update.
Or like a bank robber with his hand in his jacket pocket giving the teller a note saying 'Give me the money, i have a gub'.
Again, smart to treat the threat as real, but it might be that it's not.
I suppose one could argue the threat is real as one was expressed, but that the execution is not.
