right click context menu option

I no longer am able to right click on a file in Windows Explorer and then chose to scan the file with Avast. The Avast option is missing. Is there a way to restore this function?

Have you checked that it is enabled ?

avast! Program Settings, Common tab, see image.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

DISREGARD. I downloaded a new copy of the latest version from the web site, uninstalled the app on my system in SAFE mode, restarted the system and then reinstalled the current version. After reentering the registration key and getting the latest .dat files I found that the right click context menu DOES contain the option to scan with Avast. Sorry about the bother.

No problem, just glad that it is resolved.
