Well, if you mean compact in the sense that it now doesn't stretch from here to eternity, then yes, it's a bit more compact
But compact to me means something like:
'Scan...' or
'Scan with Avast' but
not'Scan selected items for viruses'
The new entry, whilst contracted, is only better in the sense that it is potentially less verbose.
Avast aren't the only ones that do this context-menu graffiti though. ClamWin's new context menu entry, which I immediately removed as well, is similarly sprawling, and is more like a longwinded statement of intent than a menu entry. ClamWin's is:
'Scan with ClamWin Free Antivirus'
Heaven help us! That's gone, and I created a custom entry instead. However, ClamWin readily provides the syntax necessary for creating your own custom menu entries...and it is also easy to find, and works exactly exactly the same way as the shell extension. So I can shorten the entry to 'Scan with ClamWin' - which is plenty long enough for anyone - without penalty/loss of function.
Another is Malwarebytes' Anti-malware..or MBAM, which less of a mouthful. It also suffers with the same verbosity as the aforementioned. Again, I disabled integration because of it polluting the context menu. MBAM's entry:
'Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-malware'
Flamin' Aida! And I am not alone in my griping about the length of context menu entries, thankfully, as a quick search will show.
