    ESET NOD32 Antivirus messes with my context menu

    in ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    Posted

    Hi ,

    Until this moment, nobody has given me a final solution to my problem !?. I'm just waiting and waiting . I have asked many questions,unfotunately most of them unanswered. You don't even confirm that this issure is real or not,excepting "stackz".

    I think I have proven it it's real without any doubt .I know I'm making a headache to you,but I can't let it go.

    Could you please put an end to this problem? It's unfair ignoring me !?

    Thanx

    Hi,

    I thought  I was wrong when I said ESET IS MESSING UP WITH MY CONTEXT MENU.But here is another evidence.

    Desperately , I have made 2 registry shots for my pc using NirSoft's "RegistryChangesView.exe". One before updating ESET and the other is after that.

    After making comparison between the 2 shots, I have found a lot of changes in registry especially in my context menu.

    Many keys were added and modified and removed. You can see all changes in the " text file" I have uploded.

    RegistryChangesView.txt

    THE BIG QUESTION IS WHO DID THIS?

    YOU CAN NOT EVEN DELETE THEM " the ones in the ContextMenuHandler keys "  FOR EVER.

    It seems I can not control my context menu anymore !

    PLEASE , THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY . I AM REALLY DESPERATE AND DISAPPOINTED.

    NOTICE, I DID NOTHING  BUT UPDATING  ESET. I MEAN IT "NOTHING" .


    Thanks

    Hi,

    "On my machine I don't have those registry values and have ESET installed. " 

    I don't get it .You mean you removed them ? I think they exist by default when you install Windows 10.

    You did't answer may  previous question:

    How could you explain the "removed registry entries" won't come back again when  ESET is not running  in my notebook ?

    NOTE : I have a Symantec Ghost backup 3 monthes ago. When I restore it ,everything is perfect .

    As usual ,ESET is updating and upgrading (v.10 to v.12) and ask me to restart.

    I did restart and changes happen magically.

     

    Anyway, I did exactly as you told me and here you have the files.

    Hi Marcos,

    You know what ? Today I tried to disable these entries in the safe mode .

    They never come back in the safe mode  for almost 6 minutes simply because NOD32 IS NOT RUNNING THERE. Am I right ? 🤔

    After rebooting to the real mode, they are not there for only 2 minutes .I was watch the harddisk light to see what's cooking.

    When the harddisk light is flashing now .It means something is going on. What is it? Right click a folder immediately and you will see the devil entries coming back . WHY?☹️😭

    SIR, I HAVE NEVER EVER FACED LIKE THIS STUPID PROBLEM IN MY LIFE . I HAVE TRUSTED NOD32 FOR MANY YEARS.

    Frankly ,I'm tired of it.

    THANX

    Hi ,

    I feel I'm totatlly ignored ?!?!

    Here I am asking enybody to remove the following entries from his/her registry  to check and give me a feedback (AFTER BACKING THEM UP)   :

    " 1-Open folder location , 2- Include in library and  3- Pin to start"  in the context menu  

     

    1-Open folder location

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.symlink\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibraryLocation\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RecentDocument\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Results\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\OpenContainingFolderMenu

    2- Include in library

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location

    3- Pin to start

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PintoStartScreen

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PintoStartScreen

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.Website\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\PintoStartScreen

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mscfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PintoStartScreen

    ************************************************************************************

    ANOTHER IDEA

    If this is too much to ask then I would like to know how to edit NOD32 (HIPS rules) to  BLOCK these entries from re-adding again when I reboot ?

    Can you give me only one example ?

    Thanx

    Hi,

    Yes, I rebooted immediately after making the Autoruns changes .

     Windows Store application is disabled:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore]
    "AutoDownload"=dword:00000002
    "RemoveWindowsStore"=dword:00000001

    I don't know if I have any Group Policy rule set in regards to context menu changes or not . how to tell ?

    I general, I rarely mess with Group Policy rules. I agree with you that "Group Policy " is a possible reason .

    So ,could you tell me how to make sure of that, I mean in Group Policy settings ?

    THANK YOU .

    Hi, Ultra Mate

     *I don't know why you can not see "Open Folder Location" in your right click menu ? Maybe you deleted it

    *I think "Open Folder Location , Pin to Start , Include in library and other context menu entries" come  with Windows 10  by default.

    * I did your trick " disable ESET and remove the entries and reboot immediately  " but the same thing happens.

    * If you have "Inculde in libray and Pin to Start ' in yours ,could you or ANYBODY please remove them and tell me what happens ?

     Warning ! You should export them as a backup before doing that . Just in case .

     

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\PintoStartScreen

     

    Just wait almost 2 minutes after rebooting and check them up.

    Hi, itman

    I have checked HIPS logs and  found zero alert.

    If ESET is not responsibe ,then who?

    How could you explain why the "removed registry entries" won't come back again when  ESET is not running  in my notebook ?

    Something fishy !?

    Please let's focus on this particular issue.

    THANX

    With all due respect ,the entries I'm talking about are NOT in :

    1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell

    or

    2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex

    They are located in

    1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

    2.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Library Location

    Read this one carefully "https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-clean-up-your-messy-windows-context-menu/

     

    Again,  we are not talking about the location of the registry entries. We are talking about " Why do they insist coming back? "

    I did uninstall ESET and wait (2 hours  booting and rebooting ) to make sure if these entries are coming back or not .Guess what ? they don't.

    COULD PLEASE TELL ME WHY ?

    I think ESET is restricting  MY USER ACCOUNT  to delete or modify  some registry entries . PROVE ME WRONG .

    THNX

    Hi, I have aready used " WinaeroTweaker" and other registry tricks and tools before your kind suggestion but in vain.

    Why don't you use " WinaeroTweaker"  in yours and see what happens after restarting ?

    I'm not asking how to remove the entries but how to keep them removed permanently.

    I think you are wrong about " Open folder location is a part of Windows and cannot be removed " ! ? .Yes you can. Just google it .

    Please ! These entries are removed in my context menu for months without any issue. "AFTER UPDATING ESET, THEY ARE STUCK IN THERE"

    THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.

    Sir, I am not guessing here or accusing ESET. I'm sure about it because every time I uninstall ESET ,everything is ok .

    P.S.  I uninstalled and installed ESET " In Safe Mode " (four times)  This is how and why I have discovered  the issue .

    Could please try to remove "Include in library" from your own right click and reboot and  then see what happens ?

    THANKS
