Disable Bitdender Total Sseurity Context Menus
Seriously We've got more than enough explorer context "value added" coming from all directions already. You need to let us choose whether we want 3rd party apps to just add stuff at your discretion.
Pls
Is there a way to disable Especially the main "Scan with Bitdefender 2009" context menu item. It's easy enough to call up the program and do explicit scans when I choose to. I've done my best to track it down in the registry--looking at the usual suspects, also using a number of Context Menu tools---I'm not able to find where Bitdefender is inserting itself. It almost has to be a DLL that's somewhat surreptitiously--i.e not playing nice with windows and the registry--- staying off the radar but showing up as a context menu item.
Pls tell me how ya did it and how I can undo it. Cause I'll take off and Nuke Bitdefender from orbit if there's no solution here.
thks

Thanks Alex. Figured it was prolly a Linked Library file but couldn't figure out which one. I already uninstalled BD--but I'm happy to re-install and keep using. It's a good scanner. Highly rated real-time AV too. I'm currently in research mode after finally giving up on SAVCE--now Endpoint, but still not quite getting the job done anymore.
