Why, what would it bring that isn't available in the full program ?

You only have to browse the forums from when avast 8 was introduced to see the number of complaints about it being a Metro clone and that is only one page.

I rather suspect that metro apps don't have the same sort of permissions required for a full blown security applications, loading low level drivers, etc. But why build a metro app when you have the real thing.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security
