A desktop widget (gadget if you mean) does not serve the purpose well. Those who frequently access the user interface to change settings to adapt to their certains needs, a friendly GUI makes a lot of difference. To have number of windows open to access frequently used features, is kind of annoying. For anyone complaining about this new interface, their concerns are valid as they didn't face such annoyance in the earlier version. Now, there is no such problem for others because they just install and forget that there is security software running in the background and they don't require much configurations. And suggesting them to revert back, does not really help, especially if they are paid customers. If avast doesn't really care about it, then there is nothing one can do except to live with it or just change the security app. But, I think avast does care about users' behavior i.e how exactly they use avast features and which one do they use frequently. I read about it somewhere in this forum when someone asked as to why avast sends data to google analytics everytime they click on somewhere inside the GUI.
