Does MBAM 1.46 always ask for reboot at successful installation?

[Patience Limited]

I've noted that on some systems, MBAM 1.46 requests a reboot after installation; on others it doesn't.

Since I'm usually installing it on infected systems (Win XP SP3, for the most part), is it reasonable to suspect that the infection is preventing installation of a MBAM filter driver that should always require a reboot?

Does the failure to request the reboot mean that MBAM scan will probably be partially or completely ineffective?

Thanks to everyone at Malwarebytes for all of your hard work!

This is normal, I have installed it and like you I sometimes get a reboot required and sometimes not.

I believe you will get the reboot normally if you are running the full version.

I have also got the same response (reboot / extra install) -

I think this is quite normal -
