Information
This tutorial will show you how to add "Scan with Windows Defender" to the "Send to" context menu for you to be able to scan any file or folder in Windows 8.

This is only added to your user account, and not all users in Windows 8.

Note
When added, you will be able to right click or press and hold on any file or folder, then click/tap on Send to and Scan with Windows Defender to scan it.

This will open a command prompt showing you the scan results, then you can press any key to close the command prompt.
