As topic , I'm unable to Scan malware via the right click option for removeable drives which left me only quick and full scan option.

Greetings Andy0625 and welcome :)

You can select Full Scan and a window will open allowing you to choose which drives you wish to scan, then you can select only the removeable drives. Also, are you running Vista 64 bit by any chance? If so, then there won't be a right-click menu for Malwarebytes' because that particular feature is not yet available for 64 bit operating systems.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I almost forget there's option to choose which drive to scan under Full Scan option. Anyway , I'm running 32bit Vista and running it together with Kaspersky.

Is there any chance that the Kaspersky disabled it ?

Honestly, I'm not sure if the option was ever there for removeable drives and hard drives (I'm on x64 so I don't have the right-click scan option at all :) ). It may only work for individual files and folders. I use Kaspersky myself, it wouldn't disable the context menu entry :D .
