Q: Bitdefender

I downloaded bit defender and deleted it after like a week with the uninstaller. However, when I right click on a picture or file there still is an option for scan with bit defender. How do I remove this. Thank you.

Edit: I restarted and its gone. Thank the lord.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

There are no known viruses that can attack Mac OS X. All these so-called AV apps are selling a cure for a disease that doesn't exist. Worse yet, they are renowned for borking Mac systems.
A Mac can pick up browser pop-ups and the like, but not if you just use common sense. You really have to actively invite some malware in for it to happen. That means downloading and knowingly giving your password for it to download. Mac provides all the protection you need with SIP (System Integrity Protection).

Also stay away from programs that purport to "clean your Mac". Your Mac needs no cleaning, all that is taken care of quite well by the system.
