Hi, I've just upgraded my spybot to version 1.6 and a new voice to check files with Spybot is appeared in contextual menu in Windows XP.
I would like to remove this voice, if it is possible only from the contextual menu of the Recycle.
Thanks and sorry for my English.
 
Is it becoming a bother?

Unfortunately, there is no "tweak" or fix to remove it. The right-click scan option by Spybot was offered during installation (was not checked by default) only.

IMHO, I would suggest you continue using Spybot, instead of going through the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling just to remove the option.

However, the choice is yours to make.

It is not necessary to uninstall and reinstall Spybot to remove the right click "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy" context menu item as drragostea indicated.

The context menu feature is an option during installation which is checked by default. Once installed there is no option within Spybot to uninstall it. However there is a method to disable the "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy" feature in Spybot 1.6 without uninstalling and reinstalling, see this post by Zer0 Voltage in:
If you do decide to uninstall and reinstall. the option that you should uncheck is on the "Select Components" installation screen and is listed as:
  • Explorer file scan plugin (in file context menu)
