Remove things in right clicking

[tal ormanda]

Any way to remove ones I don't want there?

[Tarun]

What do you not want there?

[tal ormanda]

Ewido & Zonelabs.

[Tarun]

Ewido:

regsvr32 /u "%ProgramFiles%\ewido anti-spyware x.x\context.dll"

(where x is a version number)

ZoneAlarm I'm unsure of. It's a terrible firewall honestly. You may want to switch to Comodo or if you want to pay for a firewall, get Outpost Pro.

[tal ormanda]

Why is it terrible?

I tried outpost but it didn't feel like it was doing anything.

What do I do with that code..?

Start > Run

I'll explain about Outpost and how well it works later.

[tal ormanda]

How did you figure out how to unregister it from that menu?

[LLXX]

Do they occur for all file types? If so, start the registry editor and go to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\

Delete any additional context menu items you don't need from there.

If they only occur on certain file types, select the extension's folder in the left, notice the default value on the right, then scroll down on the left until you find the folder with the same name as the default value mentioned earlier. Open it, open the shell\, and continue as above.

...and since when did ZoneAlarm add a context menu entry?

[tal ormanda]

Its zone alarm security suite. It can scan.

How did you figure out how to unregister it from that menu?

Since i have to deal with using anti-virus and anti-spyware applications, I have used ewido and others before. So I look around inside my Program Files and I looked in ewido. I found the file and unregistered it, thus getting rid of the context menu extension.

Outpost Pro is extremely lightweight and adds a great amount of protection, it also is passing all known firewall tests.

ZoneAlarm has memory leaks and numerous other bugs that can mess with the end user machine in bad ways. Just Google ZoneAlarm issues and you'll find a lot.

[tal ormanda]

I'll try it again then.
