    Question how do you right click and scan files in 8.1?

    Is there a way to right click on files and scan them as is in windows 7 with MBAM or other services.?

    When i google it it only refers to defender and changing a folder?

    Most anti virus software automatically make that option available.

    MS Security Essential in Win 7 does it.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    In MBAM-> SETTINGS-> General-> Explorer Context Menu Entry->Make sure it's marked YES.

    ok,, i just checked MBAM on 7 and yes is checked, i've never messed with those settings befor should i?

    I'll check 8.1 later.

    It matters i assume if any other application is not set as default, you would or would not have the option "open"?

    That worked, except the defender option disappeared
