Can't scan .exe with right click context menu.

[AndrewMartin]

When I right click on a downloaded .exe file, there's no option for SpyBot to scan the .exe. I'm fairly sure this was on earlier versions of SpyBot. I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled SpyBot with the same result. What can I do to fix it? Or is this a problem with SpyBot?

My OS is Windows XP with SP3, fully up to date.

Hello,

Spybot version 1.6 had the single files scan in the context menu. But there were so many complaints that we have decided to hide this feature in our new Spybot version 1.6.2.

You have to activate it manually.
Enter your "Start" Windows panel on the lower left, choose "run" and enter the following command line parameter to activate it:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDFiles.exe" /register

After that you'll get a notification that the command was successfull executed.

Now you can rightclick on a file and click on the tab SpybotS&D.
The single file will be scanned.

Best regards
