scanning option disappeared after sudden right click of mouse in malwarebytes

i was making use of the Avast 6.0.1289 full version with malwarebytes and at the time of scanning an individual folder i was suppose to appear a scanning option when i used to right click. but i am not able to see the option of scanning. it has disappeared . what will be the actual reason behind this. please help me in this issue as i am unable to scan files and there are viruses encountering on my system .

there are some settings missing on your system which are posing problems on your system. the possible reason behind this could be that you may have turned off the right click option at the time of modifying your settings. you can simply check the settings to enable it.

to enable the option of right click and to scan you should click the Settings tab and then in the General Settings tab put a check mark besides the option of "Create right click context menu." you can scan an individual folder or file by right clicking , when you enable this option,..

The settings are present in the Malwarebytes Program.

1. try to open the Malwarebytes
2. Settings Tab will appear . Click on it.
3. Click on General Settings which will appear In the settings tab
4. in Create right click context menu, ensure of a proper check mark .

restart the system after you have made this change.

i would like to say in this case that, if the box was preciously checked, then remove the mark and then once more mark it. in this way it will be activated.

there was no effect after solving the steps which you mentioned . even after restart. there is a similar thing with avast. could you suggest some other remedies for the same.
