The new version is Windows 10 compliant in its design. I am running Windows 7 Pro. This means that the page will be a square edged shape. There is no way to change the size and it is simply too large for my computer. Anything that fills more than 60% of the screen is wrong. What is odd is that one of the sub screens can be reduced in size. This is true for both Windows 7 & 10.
I called AVAST and the support person wanted to check my machine. I told him that was not needed as this is a coding problem. He insisted that he needed to check anyway. What he really wanted to do was sell me a paid version - which i do not and do not want or need. His tech reply to my inquiry was resolved to the extent that he took my question/complaint under advisement. I suspect that someone will see that the screen is indeed overwhelming and fix it.
My other thought relates to to program size. Take a good look folks - it is 667 Megs for the Free version without all of the "components" installed actively.
It is my experience that it makes no difference whether you install 'clean' or upgrade that the size issue exists. You will get a screen about Subscription if a clean install which will reset you expiration date for a new 1 year run.
