My computer is running Windows 7, and I just recently saw something
from the right click menu from files and folders that might be a threat
so I wanted to ask someone who could tell me any information on it.
 
These two options are on the right click menu for files and folders-
 
Copy To folder...
Move To folder...
 
 
This is the first time I have ever noticed menu options like this.
If an infection is in my computer, can you tell me how I can remove it?

Hi V-tech94
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
Interesting 'issue' and one that actual could be quite useful in the long run.  But back to an answer; these two options are not standard in the Windows 7 context menu when rightclicking on a file or folder.
 
Having said that the functionality exists in WIndows and can be 'activated' by making changes or 'tweaks' to the Registry.  In fact I believe that there are a number of apps that provide such a tweak as an option...so first question is have you installed recently any utilities apps?  
 
Second question; have you noticed any unusual behaviour when using your system?  If not then that is good, but I would run a scan with WSA to see if anything is turned up (I am assuming that you are a WSA user...;)).
 
If you are such a user and are worried by the appearance of these 'options' the you could Submit a Support Ticket and see if the Support Team can investigate for you on the premise that it could be malware based...but personally I am thinking inadvertently applied 'tweak'.
 
I hope that helps?
 
I am intrigued by your issue so please do post back if you manage to resolve the issue.
 
Regards
