I can't scan documents/folders with Malwarebytes anymore

[CT31]

I just updated to the new MB 3.4 Free today.  It seems good for the most part.  However, I used to be able to scan documents/folders on my computer by right clicking and then hitting 'Scan with Malwarebytes'.  After the update today I notice that option is no longer there.

Was this intended?  Is there a way to get that option back?

 

I'm using a 64bit W7 computer.

If you haven't done so already, please run these two tools and then attach the logs in your next reply:

• Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST)
  1. Download FRST and save it to your desktop
     Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit
  2. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  3. Press the "Scan" button
  4. This will produce two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt
     • Leave the log files in the current location, they will be automatically collected by mb-check once you complete the next set of instructions
• MB-Check
  1. Download MB-Check and save to your desktop
  2. Double-click to run MB-Check and within a few second the command window will open, press "Enter" to accept the EULA then click "OK" 
  3. This will produce one log file on your desktop: mb-check-results.zip
     • This file will include the FRST logs generated from the previous set of instructions
     • Attach this file to your forum post by clicking on the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." or simply drag the file to the attachment area

One of our experts will be able to assist you shortly.

I can also confirm this on Win 8.1 64bit.

On the Settings tab, under 'Windows Context Menus', if 'Show Malwarebytes options in Windows Explorer' is toggled on, toggle it off.

Close Malwarebytes.

Reopen Malwarebytes.

Toggle the setting back on.

Check your context menu again.

If that does not help, restart the computer and check again.

That did the trick tetonbob.

My toggle was on when I checked and rebooted.
