Missing Right Click TO Scan with Avast! - Windows Explorer

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

After the upgrade to Avast! Home Version 4.5.523, I no longer have the option to Scan a file or file folder when right clicking on a folder or file in Windows Explorer. The option is now missing.

I my OS is Windows 2000 Professional. Is there a way to get that option back into the Windows Explorer menu?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Have you already tried a repair of Avast?

No, Eddy, I didn’t try a repair… reinstalled instead. I had saved my original ini file and just copied it into the data folder after I reinstalled. All is well again… thanks.

ShellExtensionIcon=1 shows the icon next to the avast item in the Explorer context menu. The value 0 hides it. :wink:
See details on ‘Settings’ in my signature :wink:
