As there is no advanced on the right click menu

Does the fix now button work in the Avast GUI ?

Go to add/remove programmes
Select Avast as if you are going to uninstall
From the menu that appears select "Repair"

And can you confirm that the right click menu still does not have an open with option

okay so removing vlc and reinstalling gor rid of my context commands i then fixed the registry by setting the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
(default) to "none" all of it seems to be fixed now thank you for all of your help
also all other problems stopped when i removed malwarebytes can you give me a good alternative

A reasonable alternative to MBAM is Superantispyware free

Give that a whirl and let me know what you think
