Bitdefender is a great piece of software with a huge range of security features but doesnt give an option to remove the annoying menu option that pops up when you right click on a file., of course there is a way to remove it.

Download a program that makes this easy called “ShellxView” from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html#DownloadLinks
