I use Directory Opus file explorer which is far superior to File Explorer. But I cannot right click a file to scan it with Bitdefender. Every other context menu entry available to File Explorer is there.
I have read other posts that suggest Bitdefender will not support context menu scan from any other explorer. First question: why? Why can I not have this on my preferred explorer.
I read one answer that said Bitdefender will scan the http as a file is downloaded, then again when you try to access it. What if someone gives me the file via the network, not http. What if I want to give the file to someone else who does not have Bitdefender. I want to ensure its clean first.
Ok, so I'll add my own entry with a context menu editor. Just need to call Bitdefenders command line interface. Again, on home products Bitdefender have deleted such an option. Question 2: why? Why can I as a user not do this.
Oh alright, I'll create a custom scan of the main directory I might want to right click and scan. Just need to make this readily available ro run. On the explorer context menu. No! Ok, on the Bitdefender tray icon context menu. No! Oh all right, I'll add it to the Bitdefender dashboard. Nope! can't do that either.
I can drop the file onto the desktop widget, but that is not always visible, and making it stay visible whilst using an explorer to drag/drop is not dead simple. And anyway, for this one function I don't necessarily want that widget visible over all other apps all the time.
Come on Bitdefender, give us some user control.
