Hey everyone, I want to thank the creator to this site. It is a great resource tool and knowledge base all out to help each other get better. So my question is when you see bad viruses in you virus/malware scans and know you have other scans to complete, do you HAVE to reboot after each scan? If you see the pop up for you need to restart in order for these items to be removed, specifically.

Unnecessary. However if you have multiple security products they might conflict each other. For example, one AV move malware file to quarantine and second AV locks this file as it detected malware too.
