Spybot Entry in Recycle Bin Menu

I am running Spybot S&D 1.6.0.30 on an XP Pro SP3 system. After installing 1.6.0.30, I noticed that when I right-click on the Recycle bin, an entry appears as follows: "Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy".

How do I eliminate that entry?

Okay. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the package opting to forgo the right-click clutter. Thanks for the resolution.

rjemery,

I'm curious. Why go to that bother to remove the feature from all right click menus. I agree it is most unlikely to be used from a right click on the recycle bin, but it might come in handy at some stage from file Explorer. Why not leave it there and just not use it?

I have no pressing need for that option. Too many applications automatically put too much into such right-click menus, and those menus rapidly become cluttered with choices I rarely if ever use. I like to keep things clean and simple. Besides, if I really did need that option, I'm sure there are other ways of invoking it.
 
Not In my right-click menu

If the thread is still active,I would like to have the right-click option but I do not.
I also downloaded spybot without teatimer.
Is that why its not in my right-click context menu?
thanks

Play it safe. First uninstall Spybot 1.6. Then re-install 1.6. Choose Custom Installation. Enable "Separate Secure Shredder Application" and/or "Explorer file scan plugin (in the context menu)".

Not very likely. I normally download with Tea Timer but disable that option along with SDHelper during the install. I would suggest you download anew with Tea Timer, and use that new install file for your re-install, enabling or disabling Tea Timer/SDHelper as you see fit. That way you would have the all the bells and whistles at your disposal.

During the installation of Spybot when you "Select Additional Tasks", even if you uncheck these items:
  • Use Internet Explorer protection (SDHelper)
  • Use system settings protection (TeaTimer)
You can activate them later by going into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident and then under the heading "Resident protection status" checking one or both of these items:
  • Resident "SDHelper" (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active.
  • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active.
