SpyBot Search & Destroy (v1.6.0 and higher) adds the entry Scan using Spybot-Search&Destroy to the right-click menu for files and folders. If you don’t plan to use the context menu option, you can remove it by editing the registry.

Click Start, Run. Type Regedit.exe and press ENTER:
Delete the following branches:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT * shell sdfiles
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Folder shell sdfiles
Exit the Registry Editor.
Registry Fix
To automate the above, download spybot-context.zip. Unzip and run the file spybot-remove.reg. There is also an undo REG file provided, in case you want to reverse the changes.
