Just updated Avast to ver 8.0.1482 thru the application.
The user interface is now metro'ish.
YYyaahh. . . Is there no safe harbor from the creeping metro plague?

yep, give it some time and we'll be seeing more and more software houses bring out metro skins.
CC v4 next ???
not that I don't like it, it's new and different after all, a change is a good as a holiday and all that. it's nice eye candy.
i just fail to see WHY they think they need to change it in the first place and when they do, they follow the herd instead of pioneering something new (like metro did).
It looks alright. At least it doesn't look retarded like the OS that inspired it, and unlike the anti-luminosity crafters at AVG Antivirus with their overly dark colour you can actually see stuff.

RAWR!
I quite like the new interface. I always thought the beloved old look was horrid.
Me too, Shane. There, I said it out loud.
edit:
Also, fwiw, the updater tries to install google.
Should have said that in the first post, just figured everybody would catch it anyway.
Just tried the "Software Updater" and let it update the flash player
Don't usually trust such features, but that went OK.
I will steer clear from it so far. I am liking AVG over AVAST nowadays.
There is a more serious discussion of the new Avast Version in Software.

Yeah, but it went way off topic as it was merely a post about a different Avast software that's included as a standalone instead of using the whole Avast Antivirus.
metrodesign isnt hot
These new versions of AVG and AVAST seem quite good to me. The interfaces aren't bad either considering how many people hate Win8's Metro Interface.
Some metro-looking sites aren't bad. But there is too much focus on appearance as opposed to content.
The outdated drivers thing looks like it was done in paint

They don't look so bad, nor does ie 8's tiles imho. With ie 8, its the functionality I have issues with.
eL_PuSHeR, if I may ask, have you compared Avast! and AVG for resource usage?
I have run Avast for so long I have forgotten any others.
I may have to switch to use IE 10 + Sandboxie.
There is some sort of bug that interferes with IE 9 64 bit or IE 10 if you run Avast! + Sandboxie.
Believed to be an Avast issue.
Some information, and a link to the Sandboxie forums:
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=342681
Well Avast does have its own sandbox built-in too, so perhaps that's a clue to the interference.
Yes, could be, but it doesn't affect ie9 32 bit + Avast + SBIE on win 7 64 bit.
Could be because I keep the Avast sandbox turned off.
Everybody at Wilders and Sandboxie identified it as an Avast issue, so I'll just run ie 9 for a while.
