Well really, who is going to move the mouse over a tiny icon in tray to look at such stuff?  ???

As I said earlier with no response - people wanted the Vista/7 gadget, make the rotating avast! logo smaller and stick the suggested info there.

What's wrong with just opening the GUI? The GUI has all that info anyway. I didn't know "double clicking" took that much work! :)

then you also must click "maintenance".
But really this won't be useless...

Actually, you don't have to if you right-click on the icon, choose 'About'. You'll be presented with all the info you need. Hardly worth the effort to change a tooltip really, not unless someone at Avast is bored and thinking of something to do to add to the work load...  ;)
