Vista - Security Scan

**sooner1938** · 12-08-2007

Here's my other question, Shawn, if you happen to read this.

How do you target a specific file or folder for scanning with your security software? In XP, you could just right-click on the file/folder and select "scan with Norton (or whatever)" but right-clicking doesn't seem to work with Vista.

that's down to your installation of your antivirus software, you have to
make sure you have context menu integration ticked when installing or enable
it within your antivirus options.

So if I have your suggested option enabled, do I then "browse" for the desired file/folder from within the AV software?
