Add the built-in Defender function of Windows8.1 to the context menu

As we all know, Microsoft has added anti-virus software to Defender since Windows 8. How can we enhance its functionality?

Although the built-in Windows Defender in Windows 8 uses the same core as Microsoft Security Essentials and has the same level of protection performance as Microsoft Security Essentials, it is still a little different in terms of functionality, for example, you cannot set a schedule scan on the Windows Defender interface.

In addition, after Microsoft Security Essentials is installed on Windows 7 or XP, right-click the file or folder to view Microsoft Security Essentials in the context menu ...] This option allows us to easily scan a single file or folder.

However, this option is not found in Windows 8, so that you must enable Windows Defender for manual scanning every time you want to scan unknown files. This is always inconvenient to use.

So this article will explain how to add Windows Defender scanning to the right-click menu ...], You can directly right-click the file to scan unknown files.

Add right-click menu

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image002 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image002 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F02F0-1.png "width =" 598 "height =" 23 "/>

To add options to the right-click menu, you must modify the logon code. Therefore, First Run regedit to open the logon code editor.

Repeat the preceding action.

Add a machine code under [shell] and name it Defender.

Then, add two strings in the right pane of [Defender.

The first string is named icon and the value is filled in C: \ Program Files \ Windows Defender \ EppManifest. dll.

The second string is named MUIVerb, and the value is filled in with Windows Defender scanning ...]

For example.

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image018 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image018 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F02020-17.png "width =" 571 "height =" 336 "/>

If you want to cancel the context menu with Windows Defender scanning ...]

Similarly, Run regedit to open the logon editor ].

Then switch to the following two positions in the left pane of log on to the editing program.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ * \ shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Folder \ shell]

Then delete all the [Defender] under it.

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image020 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image020 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F0A33-20.png "width =" 573 "height =" 295 "/>

Test Functions

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image002 [2] "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image002 [2] "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F052Z-21.png "width =" 598 "height =" 23 "/>

Next, let's test whether this function can be used.

You only need to find a folder or file, and then right-click the folder or file to view an option in the context menu for Windows Defender scanning ...].

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image021 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image021 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F05123-22.png "width =" 551 "height =" 464 "/>

Click to scan with Windows Defender ...] Then, you will find a black window.

This is a virus scanning window. Do not close this window. If you close this window, the virus scanning will be interrupted.

You can minimize it. When the scanning is completed, it will automatically disappear.

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image022 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image022 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F04055-23.png "width =" 568 "height =" 377 "/>

Although it seems a little spring, you don't have to worry about it. This does not affect its functionality.

When you scan a problematic file, you will see this prompt in the lower right corner.

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image023 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image023 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F03594-24.png "width =" 503 "height =" 156 "/>

Then you can press the prompt to enable Windows Defender for further processing.

Of course, you can also disable this prompt and enable Windows Defender when you are free.

650) this. width = 650; "title =" clip_image024 "style =" border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "border =" 0 "alt =" clip_image024 "src =" http://www.bkjia.com/uploads/allimg/140112/205F05Q3-25.png "width =" 569 "height =" 410 "/>
