Shred Recycle Bin Using Avast Option is Missing in my Recycle Bin (after an Item is placed in it.
I wish I knew how I can insert a Picture of it to this Post, but where it says "Insert Image"
in the Tools section above the 16 Happy Faces when I Copy & Paste the Image in between the 
I think you're looking for it in the wrong place
Right Click on the Recycle Bin. It's still there.


It isn't an option in mine, but then again don't you have to have the Avast Data Shredder installed (a paid product) ?

Just to add David, I decided to check right click on my systems and didn't have the Shredder context in my Recycle bin but also didn't have the Data Shredder component installed, so today I added the component to my installation and still don't have the shredder option listed when I right click my Recycle Bin ???
So I don't know exactly why mine is different from Bob's

Thanks Asyn, appreciated
However that's the first thing I checked, and it was already checked by default, so issue still remains.

Edit: Well that's very strange as I went back into UI and unchecked the option and rechecked it and now the Shredder context is showing. wierd  8)
