Scan Folder via Explorer context window (right click)

AVG Protection

Hello Derpy,
This isn’t expected behavior. We’ll work through fixing this together. In this case, I request you to repair AVG Protection (http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-repair-AVG), update (open AVG Antivirus free > menu > settings > update) it one more time and reboot your computer once. After reboot, please check if the context menu is working fine.
Best regards,
Alok.

Hi!

Newbie question.
Is it possible to configure AVG Antivirus free, so i can right click on a file/folder
and trigger a virus scan, via the context menu over them?

My previous (abandoned) Virus Software could do that, and it was really helpful.
I humbly accept my beating, should this be an obvious RTFM.
Did some searches over the forums thought and dint find anything.

thanks
Klaus
