Thank you David, Porthos!
We are using Malwarebytes Breach Remediation that does not reside on every machine in our org, we only deploy it to a machine if we suspect an infection. Now these files usually are the kind David mentioned are not handled by MB*.
But we were under the impression that MBBR would be able to recognise these malware (just sitting on the system and not executing) and remove them. So now, can this be confirmed that MBBR will do nothing if it comes across such files?
