Answer» I used to have the option to scan files with NORTONS Anti-Virus when I right clicked on them. Recently I had problems with a virus and lots of spyware, and I got rid of it all. Although, now I do not seem to have the option to scan my files with Nortons by right clicking on it and selecting that option. I was wonder if there was a way I could get it back without having to uninstall and reinstall Nortons entirely. On another note, is there a way to add commands or remove options? Thanks in advance for any help offered.I'm not convinced your system is fine now. Have you tried all of the Raptor Tips for a clean system? If so, then system restore may be a next step, from safe mode. As for question # 2 - no, if I read your question correctly. Could you elaborate?Oh the system is most definately clean. What I think happened was during the cleaning, I deleted a key I was not supposed to. Nortons works just fine now, as does EVERYTHING else. I also used Hijackthis, and think I might have deleted it via that program, and the backups folder is empty. What I really need help with is how to add it back. Because the registry is very big, and something I am not entirely comfortable with yet when it comes to adding entries. I really would not know how to set the value.I forgot to elaborate on question 2. Well there is nothing specific at the moment I wish to add, but there seems to be an ABUNDANCE of garbage on the right click menu I could certainly do without. Like adding to zip, and rar. I never use those options. Quote I forgot to elaborate on question 2.
