I'll make a preview on how i think it should look like.

As for the HTTPS Everywhere extension. On one end, yes, you prevent Web Shield from scanning the connection but then again but on the other, with HTTPS you make sure that there is no injected content along the way and that the web site is trusted. I'd say it's very unlikely that such webpage would be infected though i won't say it's not possible. In that case File System Shield and Auto Sandbox should do the trick.

I just upgraded to Avast Free v6.0.1270. The installation went well. However, when I rebooted the system, the Behavior Shield blocked Firefox from running. I had to add Firefox to the Trusted List. I shouldn't have to do this for such a well known program.

I am running Windows 7 (X86). I just ran a program update test and found that the Gadgets disappear when running a program update check. This is new behavior for Avast.

The update popups...

What I like:
I like that the version number is included.

What I don't like:
The button...It just doesn't look right...
I think like RejZor... The button is not compatible with the rest of the GUI: ugly, brings too much attention.
The version number is a good improvement.

It looks like something out of the scrap box!

Normally I am not using the gadget. But I tried it and the behaviour is standard. No disappearing during updates!

This is how i'd do the popups:


It will do the job, looks nice and is very discrete. Looks light years better imo...

All in all it looks like something messed up during installation. You might try a repair install or a complete clean reinstall.

I think there is one more solution. Instead of the ugly buttons on the alarm (red) and update (green) pop-ups you could leave only links with the words "More detals...>>>" in big white bold font.

And some words about the Russian translation. The English "More details..." is translated as "Развернуть..." but the Russian word "развернуть" means "to expand" in English. The right translation would be "Подробнее...". Please, correct the translation on all pop-ups.
May the FOSS be with you!

May be it would be well for English but in Russian this text will be much longer: "Щёлкните это окно, чтобы посмотреть подробности...".

Well the popup can be extended as far as i know.

They could just use "More details..." text with the same font as the rest and underlined so it looks like a link.

Like this:


Underline gives the feeling that "More details..." text is in fact a link that will lead you to the extra info despite the fact that entire popup is a button... Looks nice and will work for languages that have longer words as well. Simple and effective. And looks good as well.

That button thing's gotta go!  It just looks out of place.  Version number is very cool!
