3. In the scan results file, put a check mark in the box in front of each file you want to shred, and then click Shred. You can shred multiple files at the same time. Warnings:
   • You can not undo shredding. Be sure you check your selections carefully.

   • Using Spirion to shred email could shred or corrupt your entire mailbox. If confidential data is identified in an email message, to permanently delete the mail message without damaging your mailbox, open your email application, delete the message, then empty the trash and compact your folders. If you are unsure of how to permanently delete select emails, contact your local technical support for guidelines on your specific email application.
