That's an impressive number, especially if you add the commas.

4,613,270

Whew - but what does it mean?

Does "malware" share a one-to-one correspondence with malware
"definitions"?

...or are there instances where one definition can "detect" more than
one "malware" or is there certain malware that more than one
"definition" will suffice to detect? Are all those definitions for
"identification", for "detection", or a mix of both?

Depends on how you want to look at it. 4163270 is in correspondence
with the number of md5 hashes, or "definitions".

Depends on how you want to look at it. 4163270 is in correspondence

So detection is based entirely on md5 hashes of known malicious files?

To FTR and the other regular posters in these newsgroups...

What does the community say as to this TT Livescan application? I have
not seen Leythos, Lipman, or others who are held in high regard remark
on this utility. Is it a worthwhile addition to tools such as
Malwarebytes' and SAS?

What do the folks think?

Thanks.

My referenced individual list is not exhaustive...just a few people who
post regular quality comments. I will also mention Malke gets high marks...
