Forgot to say all i get is egg timer and page freezes completely.Have to switch off and reboot.

thomas01155

Disable teatimer
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident

• Uncheck (if checked) the following:
  Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Uninstall ThreatFire and Spyware Doctor unless you paid for them. Have you got the new Avira?

Disable windows defender if you have Avira 9 http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-disable-Windows-Defender

dogmaryxx

Have done all of above except disabling defender as I only have Avira personal not 9 but right click is now working as it should.

Thank you ever so much for your time and expert advice thomas01155.

Download Glary Utilities
http://majorgeeks.com/Glary_Utilities_d5870.html
During the installation unchecked both the boxes to do with Ask once its installed open it if its not already and run the one click maintenance scan and fix anything found.

dogmaryxx

All done.Is it worth keeping Glary and running once a week say?

thomas01155

Yup is it still not working? Can you post a fresh hijackthis log.

dogmaryxx

All is working fine ,what makes you think its not

thomas01155

Dunno your reply was a bit vague :P

You can download Avira 9 for here http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html then you don't need windows defender any more as it has antispyware. Glad I could be of service
