Two odd things I found with WiFi Inspector in Avast! Premier

Check out the attached screenprint graphic with callouts I added to point out the issues found.
I have completed full scans, even boot scans and Avast has found nothing... but then it never has... though Avast Anti-Track Premium tends to discourage connection to most all websites at different times.

that's because you are looking at "Smart Scan". I posted the Wi-Fi Inspector scan.  :)

I stand corrected but still can't see what you're seeing:

Mine looks the same except for the weird percentage that shows and the circled "i" which flashes when clicked on but goes away before it can be read.
Win 7 x64 home
Lenovo G570
Avast Premier
8GB RAM
~5GB left open on the HD
No other security software running other than Avast.
Clear with CCleaner after browsing or if any oddities pop up with the browser or email client.
Perhaps an Avast tech can look into why I'm getting these results?

Bob; At least your install appears to be working OK. That's good.
