Hello gentlemen.
"1) if avast! have many customizations why he(she) could not hide not just one but both icons on system tray? Just change avast4.ini file to do that."
I was talking about the default.
"2) odd interface? Did he(she) tryed other skins? The skinless appearance? Non sense opinion."
I was talking about the default.
"3) System resource hog. Does anybody believes in his(her) test? If so, can he(she) have the same protection with just 1kb of RAM? "
Resource hog refers to RAM usage, which i have screenshots of on the review page.
"4) Slow scanning? Which options just he(she) check? While he(she) need a fast on-demand scanning? Does he(she) knows that on-access is the protection?"
The scanning method chosen was mentioned on the opening pages of the roundup.
"- no info about the system the test was performed on"
Look at the first page of the roundup.
