• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

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
