Suddenly the right mouse click scanning option has disappeared

[antonman]

Hi,

I tried to scan an individual folder , file, zip, rar, etc but the right mouse click scanning option suddenly has disappeared. Also this happened with Avast 6.0.1289 full vesion which I using with malwarebytes.

Before, there was an right click option to choose what I would like to scan, either with Avast or Malwarebytes.

I thought to reinstall either Avast or Malwarebytes in order to recover right mouse click scanning options for both softwares but I would appreciate your suggestion.

Please advice!

Hello Antonman and welcome to the Malwarebytes forums.

The right click option can be turned off and on by modifying your settings. This option can be turned back on by clicking the Settings tab and then the General Settings tab and putting a check mark next to the option "Create right click context menu."

Once this option is checked you will be able to right click and scan an individual folder or file.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

[antonman]

Thanks Haleo,

Which Settings I should go? IE settings, MB Settings?

Thanks

[Firefox]

The settings he is talking about are in the Malwarebytes Program.

Open Malwarebytes

Click on the Settings Tab

In the Settings Tab Click on General Settings

Make sure there is a check mark in Create right click context menu.

Not sure if you have to restart the computer for it to take effect but you could try.

Firefox is quite correct. One additional note, if the box is already checked, then you may need to uncheck the box by clicking on it and then click the box again so that it is checked once more.

Dear all,

I applied all above but nothing has been changed even after restarting my laptop. Same with Avast!

Please do the following:

Create an Autoruns Log:

• Please download Sysinternals Autoruns from here and save it to your desktop.
  
  • Note: If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then you also need to do the following:
    
    1. Right-click on Autoruns.exe and select Properties
       
    2. Click on the Compatibility tab
       
    3. Under Privilege Level check the box next to Run this program as an administrator
       
    4. Click on Apply then click OK
       

  [*]Double-click Autoruns.exe to run it.

  [*]Once it starts, please press the Esc key on your keyboard.

  [*]Now that scanning is stopped, click on the Options button at the top of the program and select Verify Code Signatures so that it is now checked

  [*]Click on the Options button again and this time uncheck Hide Windows Entries

  [*]Once that's done press the F5 key on your keyboard, this will start the scan again, this time let it finish.

  [*]When it's finished and says Ready. on the lower left of the program window, please click on the File button at the top of the program and select Save and save the Autoruns.arn file to your desktop and close Autoruns.

  [*]Right click on the Autoruns.arn file on your desktop and hover your mouse over Send To and select Compressed (zipped) Folder

  [*]Attach the Autoruns.zip folder you just created to your next reply

[antonman]

Ok! see the attached AutoRuns

[antonman]

Here is AutoRuns Zip file

AutoRuns.zip

Hello again,

I'm honestly at a total loss here. The shell extensions for both Avast! and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware are present and accurate so they should both be working so I have no idea why they would not be working. Are you logged into Windows as an administrator?

[antonman]

Yes, I am the only sole user of my laptop.

Recently I had some crashing errors and I run some programs which Microsoft Support Forum suggested me.

See point 1 and 2 below where I enclosed to Microsoft Forum:

CAUSE TO THE ERROR, I proceeded with troubleshooting to the problem and I applied the following according to the links as below:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

If the issue persists, access Clean Boot to check the issue. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.

Also, you can use ShellExView to disable related extensions of Windows Explorer:

1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip

2. Right-click the "shexview.zip" file, select "Extract All", the Extraction Wizard will prompt.

3. Click Next, input "C:\ShellExView" (without the quotation marks) in the "Files will be extracted to this directory" textbox.

4. Click Next and click Finnish.

5. Open the "C:\ShellExView" folder and double-click the "shexview.exe" file. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.

6. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.

7. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.

8. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

I see, so what they had you do was disable the shell extensions using ShellExView, that explains it. In order for the shell extensions to work you'll need to re-enable them using ShellExView. It is odd that the shell extensions still look correct in Autoruns though.

I run ShellExView and I enabled all four rows for Avast which i disabled before and now after enable the four rows become pink colour.

I have also done the same with malwareBytes which I have disabled before and now after enable the only row related to MalwareBytes, the row become pink colour.

See the attached screenshots!

NOW, RIGHT CLICK DO WORKS with both, MB and avast!

Is there any setting that I should know and apply it in order to run smoothly my system, my registry, my cache, my boot system, etc for my laptop?

Thanks

[exile360]

Excellent, I'm glad you were able to get it working again . You should be all set now. Are you having any other issues with your computer at this point or is everything still running well?

[antonman]

The main problem is that my Windows 7 Home Premium EXPLORER crashes very often:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/6951c6e5-90bb-48a3-aee7-8f54eeee9520

I do not know if this happens because I use both Avast with MalwareBytes. I am happy with both programs but maybe some conflict because both programs have Real Time Protections.

You can suggest me another Program in order to use it with MB.

MB does its job very well and I think Avast completes MB job. For me, both are perfect for fully security!!!

Thanks

[exile360]

I know of many users that use Avast! and MBAM together without any issues, so I doubt that's the cause. I just took a peak at your topic there, and it looks like the file causing the crash is the shell extension for the software for your Intel graphics chip (igdumd32.dll). Updating your graphics driver or reinstalling the graphics driver (assuming you're already running the latest driver) might fix that issue.

, nice

Anyway, for your graphics drivers, I'd recommend running Intel's Driver Update Utility, and I assure you, that site is both safe and official . It will tell you which graphics hardware/software you have installed. Once that's done, let me know what it says about your graphics hardware/software and I'll find the latest version of the driver software on Intel's website so that you can download and install it, which will hopefully resolve the crashing issues you've been having.

Hi again,

I have had a bad exprerience and I lost my files and folders, when I tried to re-install ATI Mobility Radeon DISPLAY DRIVER.

As per your guides, I followed each step and I the Intel® Driver Update Utility, Automatically identify and find drivers, found that my ex driver should be HD 5400 instead of HD5470 and I applied this change.

My laptop could not start normally, so I have been warned and recommended every time I boot my laptop ( I have Window 7 Home premium) to use Repair option. Unfortunately this could not solve the problem and my computer could not start windows and still was warning me to use repair, cause to the fact that the error could not being repaired.

I had no choice, so i proceeded with a Systewm Image Repair in order to fix the problem and be able to use my laptop. The Backup System Image was old and I ignored this, thinking that this would not affect my folders and files. The result was that my new files and folders were replaced with the old which were restored from the old backup.

Mainly, my NEW Deleted files and folders were located under C/ Users/ Antonis/ = Desktop/ , My Documents/, My Music/, My Pictures/, Favorites/, Downloads/ , etc

Now, I installed and run the Mini Tool Power Data Recovery Program But I cannot find my deleted docs and files. I went through the program and I have checked NTFS Partions. I tried also find specific file option but some of those files I have found, there is a red Question Mark or i Red Mark and when I open them (ie word files) I cannot read them caused to their encoding...

Please advice!

Could you suggest me another solution?
