Is there anyway to keep Avast running in the background and not have any of the UI's running? I tried turning off persistence but then I did not see Avast running.
Thank you,

Yes, hiding can be chosen by pressing Command-H (Or Windows-H, for PCish keyb users), or using avast!'s menu item, as :Mac: stated.
The current version will pop its GUI after startup anyway (for more reasons), but the very next one will contain dedicated hide-mode in preferences (because, for example, hiding from startup items is broken on 10.4.x etc., so in general it would be better when app controls the visibility on its own).
