Okay, thanks.

By the way, you told me to save ContextFix.reg to the desktop. Is it okay if I move the file somewhere else and run it for there in the event I need to?

Yeah, I figured Erunt wasn't responsible, too, after disabling it and rebooting. And I remembered that Avast was still able to create a context menu even though Erunt wasn't disabled. That also led me to believe that Erunt wasn't responsible.

It's probably worth mentioning ERUNT 1.1 didn't prevent Avast, when I reinstalled it, from creating a context menu though.

Oh, you're right, it does work. I just had to press "fn" on the keyboard first. Yes, ERUNT AutoBackup belongs to ERUNT 1.1 (Emergency Recover Utility NT 1.1). It creates a backup of the registry (if there isn't one already for that date) when Windows starts. I wonder if it was responsible? I'm pretty sure (not 100% though) that MBAM wasn't creating a context menu before ERUNT 1.1 was installed. I suppose the only way to find out would be to uninstall both MBAM and ERUNT 1.1 then reinstall them in the following order: 1) MBAM 2) ERUNT 1.1.

Yeah, it worked. Thanks for helping me with the MBAM issue by the way.

I tried that, but apparently print screen doesn't work when a context menu is opened. Alas, I think I found the answer though. Apparently, I need to delay the screen shot. The screen capture tool, that I still have 27 days left in my trial, allows me to add a delay.

This is unrelated, but you wouldn't happen to know how to take a screen shot with a context menu open so that the context menu is included in the screen shot, would you?

Okay, thanks. I figured something was wrong when there wasn't an entry for MBAM in autoruns. There is now an entry in autoruns for MBAM.

If I had to re-install MBAM for some reason, would the context menu disappear again?

Yes it is, thanks.

It didn't work.

I'll proceed with disabling ERUNT AutoBackup and Sandboxie Control then.

It appears that way. I just tried opening a dll file and I got an error message.

Well, Zone Alarm Free offers no way to actually exclude a file - It only allows me to decide whether or not a program in the list should be able to access the internet - Is that what you mean?

Should I disable Zone Alarm Free Firewall and Avast Free too?

Note: Before scanning with autoruns, I selected "Verify Code Signatures" and unselected "Hide Microsoft and Windows Entries" as stated in the link. Should I have unselected "Hide Windows Entries" too? It wasn't mentioned in the link.

The new link offers the same solution as the aforementioned links.

I didn't think about adding exclusions in Avast's Web Shield and Behavior Shield - I did so now - It hasn't solved the issue. Everything else has already been done. I'll try the new link. The AutoRuns.zip is attached as requested. AutoRuns.zip

I wouldn't say the problem is with my operating system alone (if at all) since Avast and Hitman Pro have no problem creating a right-click context menu. I actually re-installed Avast within one or two days ago.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry about the late reply; I fell asleep. >.> @Firefox - I followed the directions (several times) in the link provided, however, they did not solve the issue. @daledoc1 - The option is indeed checked. Additionally, I unchecked the option, closed MBAM, opened MBAM then rechecked the option - It didn't work - OS: Windows XP 32-bit,Media Center Edition,Service Pack 3 - Real Time Protection: Avast Free 6.0.1125 - Software Firewall: Zone Alarm Free 9.2.106.000 - The first link doesn't work; the second and third links provide the same solution as the link provided by Firefox - Side Note: In one of the links provided, someone mentioned to run an autoruns scan. I did so and there is no entry for MBAM in autoruns. Something tells me there should be.

Hi, I didn't see my issue in the FAQ so decide to go ahead and create this topic. - MBAM doesn't create right-click context menu even though the option is select in settings. I've tried the following solution process: Uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware via Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel Restart computer Download and run mbam-clean.exe utility Restart computer Download and install latest version
