Malwarebytes unable to load Anti-Rootkit DDA driver on Windows 7

If you have Malwarebytes installed on a Windows 7 machine, you may encounter the following error:

The Malwarebytes is unable to load the Anti-Rootkit DDA Driver error asks you to reboot your machine so Malwarebytes can load the driver. Click No, as you do not need to reboot your machine. This error occurs when the Anti-Rookit components did not load fast enough on Windows 7 machines. To resolve this issue, you need to delay the Malwarebytes Service to allow the Anti-Rootkit driver to load correctly on startup. If you have Avira, un-registering Malwarebytes with Windows Action Center may resolve the issue. For more information, see Register Malwarebytes for Windows with the Windows Security Center.
