Well, Sandra, thanks for your response.
However, it is not what I'm saying here. What I want, as I was having it all along before, was that the RIGHT CLICK Context Menu of "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy" remains.
However, now, when I'm LEFT CLICKING with my mouse on any video file, Spybot scan begins to scan the file instead of my video player opening the video file.
What I like removed is NOT the RIGHT CLICK Context Menu of Spybot but that when I LEFT CLICK with my mouse, Spybot should not fire up to do the scan.
I hope this is as clear as I can explain it in words.

Somehow, Windows association with .FLV files has changed from your selected viewer to SpyBot S&D. Open your viewer, and see if there is a way to reset that association.
If not, open Windows Explorer,go to Tools | Folder Options on the File Types tab and scroll down to FLV in the Extensions column. You should be able to point it to the correct program from there.

Hi Gopher John,
I've re-associated all the video file formats to my video player. I did not do anything as far as I remember. all my video file formats were associated to my video player before and I did the associations myself, so I know.
What remains strange to me is that Spybot became associated to flv, wmw, avi, mp4, rm, etc....in fact, all the common video files that I had played on my PC.
And there is no panel within Spybot to associate any types of extensions whatsoever, so it must have been my Windows Explorer acting up.....BUT why must the mis-associations be with Spybot and not any other programs? So, somehow, I feel Spybot is involved in this arresting of video file extensions.
Who is the culprit, only heaven knows BUT thanks, dude.....My problem is solved.
Another thing, when I checked Folder Options, I can't find the extensions FLV, WMV, AVI, MP4, RM, etc. That is rather strange, but oh well...problem solved and that is what matters.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
