Fair enough.
I can't see it now, because I uninstalled it, but as I remember, there were 6 large icons that appeared in a rounded rectangular window. To me, that signifies equal importance to each. The "Virus Chest", good name, by the way, was a bit scary and I never opened it. A typical "Don't make me think" user would be daunted for sure. That same user would be unclear about which of 6 equally important options to chose. OK, I grant you descending importance from left to right, but I think the regular menu is sufficient and easier to use like any other program.
Maybe folks just expect a graphic interface and yours does resemble an mp3 or dvd player skin, in size, at least.
My advice: Don't show anything on startup or background execution except an unobtrusive message like "Updating . . ." or "Running . . . " with a counter and a "show details" button. On opening the app, just show a "Scan where . . . " selection dialog and a "More options . . . " button where all the preferences, schedules, and other gritty stuff reside.
At my old going rate, I would have just paid for that year's subscription I griped about, but it's really just my 2 cents worth. Hope I helped or at least stirred a brain cell.
P.S. The report window was better. That's were I saw the connection to the "Virus Chest" explained.
