Unfortunately, not much we can do to help you, then. Those are notorious for doing things like this to your system. It's time to re-format. Copy all of your data off to a backup drive (NOT including this keygen/crack) and do a complete format and re-install of your stuff.

I think that Capt sparrow messege actually might work, but i dont know what to download in that page..? please expline.. thanks.

Hi there,

Most of the times the Explorer crashes due a bad or corrupt Context Menu the best way to troubleshoot is to download the ShellExView is an excellent tool to view and manage all installed shell extensions. The rule is to disable non-Microsoft context menu handlers *one-by-one* and verify if the problem is solved. If disabling one does not solve the problem, undo the disabled item and disable the next non-Microsoft handler. Do the same until the problem is solved and finally identify the culprit. Scroll right to see the Company Name column in ShellExView.

Well, you can spend time doing that and it might work, or you can spend the same amount of time reformatting and reinstalling which will definitely work. Obviously up to you, but I'd opt for the guarantee rather than the possibility in this case. 16 infections and still having problems usually is not a promising situation for trial and error fixes.

OK i have soloved the problem ! using this ShellEx program that Captain Sparrow gave. i was able to disable each program and see if i can right-click anything.

The program that gave me error while right-clicking is some stupid PSP program that i used.. deleted it and the problem is soloved.

Thanks for everybodys help.

Glad I could help. Thanks for reporting back Just a piece of advice stay away for illegal keygen cracked software or torrents that will harm your system.

Have a good day,
Captain

Your right click problem is solved, but have you removed all the malware that caused this problem? That's the real problem which the ShellViewer doesn't address or fix.

Yup deleted 2 files that caused this problem.

Find a good antivirus to start using from now. I use Avira, personally, as I find it to have the best real-world detection rate of all the products I've tested (Symantec, McAfee, AVG, ClamAV). I've yet to be infected by anything over the past 3 years.

The thing is that these files that made me the right-click error are not viruses, and an Antivirus wont find them.

These files just bugged the windows files in some way.. but are not viruses for sure.

Besides i think the Malewarebytes program is good enough for viruses and such...

So you know for sure what caused your sudden inability to right click on things and it had nothing to do with one of the 16 pieces of malware that were found and deleted? Personally I don't care what you call them - bugs, viruses, malware - it doesn't matter; you introduced something to your system that removed basic functionality with malicious intent. Malware Bytes is a reactive measure that only finds things when you tell it do go do so. An Antivirus operates on a proactive nature to prevent you from having 16 infections that go unnoticed until you solicit help from a forum.

I am advising you as a contributing member of the forum that knows a thing or two about best practices in this area. If you choose not to take the information, that's perfectly fine, but you need to be aware of the consequences. I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that your decisions stated above are going to land you in the same place you found yourself when you first came here. We'll be here to help again, but it would help both you and us if you implemented something that was actually preventative on your system than purely reactive based on explicit user initiation.

Obviously, the OP does not want to run antivirus software because it will interfere with the cracks, patches, and other licensing circumvention tools that he uses.
