    Default missing feature in spybot

    Hi

    I recently reinstalled Spybot after wipeing my pc clean, and it seems to no longer have the option to scan items in the right click menu on the desktop. Has this feature been removed or is there a way to turn it back on? Please help

    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 successful executed.

    Now you can right click on a file and click on the tab Spybot - S&D.
    The single file will be scanned.

    Best regards
    Sandra
