Right-click causes application crash

contextual menucrashshortcut-menu

I have a serious problem with right clicking. When ever I try to open the contextual menu in certain applications like the iWork Suite, MS Office or Evernote, I get the beach ball.

I've completely formated my Mac and 3 days later I notice the problem is persisting. Has anyone ever experienced this issue ?

I am running 10.8.2.

After looking in /Library/Contextual Menu Items/ I noticed that even after uninstalling the app which I suspected was causing the problem, a plugin was still present. Deleting it has resolved the issue.

The app in question was Antidote by Druide Software.
