I'm more concerned over the GUI design. They've made some really weird design decisions and very little time to address them properly... I hope they'll still manage to do it, but my expectations are rather low and that's worrying...

It looks like Kirby from super smash brothers threw up all over the GUI. Way to purple I think blue would have been better.

It would be better if you attached the images to your post. That way people can view it in line without having to jump to another site.
I thought that the images were too big and would make the forum cluttered. I'll do it the next time.  ;)

1. I thought that the images were too big and would make the forum cluttered.

1. Not at all, one needs to click them to get opened/enlarged.
2. Please do so, like Dave, I avoid opening external links.

By the way the error (the one with the SecureDNS) is again here.  :D  Anyone else who has it?


Blocked threats by real time protection show up in the notifications, haven't checked yet if they stay there after a restart, but maybe it is a good idea to have a log also for real time protection. Or better just create a log for everything like all the other AVs have.


Next to the "Threat blocked" notification in the notifications panel there is a button "Open in Virus Chest" even for threats blocked by the web shield. Since the stream scanning doesn't allow creating a real .exe file to be quarantined, users can become concerned why there is nothing in the Chest.

Hi Rejzor,

yes we plan to release some changes in the UI in next beta but the basic selection of the menu will stay for now and we will A/B test different approaches later on. Your proposal makes sense if we would have just AV functionality, which we don't have a we must somehow organize the items. So that's why it's divided to Protection, Privacy, Performance. Adding a section of Tools would mean that this category would be much larger that the rest menu items and all new features would end up there. We tested the current layout on normal users and it wasn't really an issue.

Hi All,
Of course I'm running this beta version..I've run several scan's already. I have a question, on the status page there  are two notification's I can't seem to get rid of..(1) There are a couple things to fix - Fix All (2) Real Site can't run on this network - Repair . Is anyone else receiving these same notification's ? I'm enclosing a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
Thanks,
David  :o

I've posted a new GUI draft in the GUI discussion thread. Ask Vlk about it, I've sent him the link as well.

With my hacker - and your Photoshop skills, we could try to change it inside next week ;)

Hi, this warning will be removed. It doesn't make sense.

Hi MartinZ,
Thanks so much for your reply..it didn't make sense to me either, of course things like that happen when using 'beta' software.

Hi RejZoR,
Just to let you know, now I'm getting the same notification on a different windows 10 computer. It doesn't seem to be affecting the performance of the software though.
Thanks,
David
