Right Click Context Menu Help

Hi all,

I have just installed, vista 64-bit and am loving it at the minute.

I only have a few small niggles. I have installed 2 programs that I used to
use in Windows XP: imgBurn & Norton Antivirus (installed internet security
2007 with vista 64 upgrade).

With Norton AV I used to be able to right click a folder in XP and select
scan for viruses. This is no longer an option in the right click context
menu in vista. Any ideas how I can get this back?

Also I have a similar problem with imgBurn - I used to be able to right
click an .iso image and select burn with imgburn but this is no longer there
either.

If I could get this back that would be perfect, especially the antivirus
right click.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

Dump the Norton Antivirus. Known problem on Vista. Suggest the free AVG
Anti-virus. http://free.grisoft.com
AVG automatically updates and scans the computer on your schedule. You can
also manually start the check for updates and scan.
