When I click on an icon I have started getting the line of "scan for
viruses" instead of open on the desktop icons. I know there are no viruses
on the machine, and have checked the machine with Norton and with Kaspersky.
How do I restore the normal box of options when I click an icon on the desk
top?
Thanks
Mike

I forgot to mention that instead of open on some icons it says add to
archieve.
