AVG free BASIC Shredder not working

Anthony, Presume you have Win XP SP3 SSE2?. Have a look @ this AVG article (http://avgread.me/1Ewajhi).

 I have just installed AVG Antivirus Free 2017 on XP. I tried the option 'Permanently shred with AVG' to shred some files. This used to work with the 2016 version, but now it no longer works: when clicking 'Shred' nothing happens...
Does anyone else have this problem? ... Or a solution?

I already removed AVG and re-installed...but the problem is still there...
