New Avira Free Antivirus doesn't show up in the right-click menu
If you updated from a previous version of Avira Antivir to the new 2012 version, it could have happened that the entry from the right-click context menu to quickly scan files disappeared. As this a pretty useful shortcut to scan questionable files, you might want to get it back.
It's very simple:
1. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
2. On the list of programs that appears, look for the Avira Free Antivirus entry. Select it and press Change at the top, or right-click it and select Change.
3. On the new window that pops up select Modify and press Next. The default settings are usually the best settings, so you might want to leave everything like it looks and press Next until the modifications are complete. When you pressed enough Next, simply press Finish.
4. The right-click context menu should now be visible again.
