    I just noticed a HUGE update of components too (events log) but my version remains at 15.0.8.656. I'll see after a reboot...

    Hi Macstorm,
    fyi: Version 15.0.9.502 (Update 9) downloaded from the above mentioned link and installed manually, on top of the auto updated 15.0.8.656.

    With Update 9, noticed the following changes:
    C:\ProgramData\ Avira > Antivir Desktop folder, now: Antivirus
    C:\Program Files\ Avira > Antivir Desktop folder, now: Antivirus
    C:\User XXX\AppData\Roaming\Avira > Antivir Desktop folder, now: Antivirus
    (Windows 8.1U3 32-bit)
    --------------
    Update 9:
    One Installer for Free and Pro product
    On the fly upgrade and downgrade based on licenses used
    --
    Bugfixes:
    Server: "Unknown error <34244>" in on-demand scan log file using an expired license
    Each update downloaded the rootkit.avp file
    Detection and Error icons were missing on events screen of AV Control Center
    Upload to cloud window has now a new look.
    In some rare situations the AV-Guard crashed on startup
    In some rare situations the AV-Systray module seems to have a memory leak
    systemutilities.dll will no longer require a reboot while updating
    Vendor information in "Program and Features" now shows the correct value.

    Custom installlations will now be respected during the update process to update 9.
    ;)

    Thanks Anon. Rebooting the system did nothing. Applying the update now...

    Thanks for the changelog!

    i personally do not really like it (and i really hate to say that) i find it very choppy and slow to respond during use. it takes up to much screen space and opens in different spots on the screen usually half off my monitor down towards the bottom. it just opens the old gui for settings lic mgmnt etc. so its sort of just a skin. and honestly i MUCH prefer the old one. luckily for now at least i can still use the old one by opening from a different file. i hate to be hard on it but im just totally being honest. this looks almost like an android app on my desktop. i hope they dont take away the ability to use the old gui.

    So much comments..
    For novice user=>Perfect
    For Advance User=>Too simple (Over Simple),less function...
    It need Basic View,and Advance View
    On my computer it didn't facing any delay or lockup
    because it was base on the HTML-Style.
    Those who are facing lockup,delay should think the problem may related to the render engine which the new GUI was using
    QT?MSHTML(Trident/IE)?WebKit?Blink?
    If that was MSHTML,it need your IE be the latest version and try to default all your setting
    Also you could simple using some registry hacks force the GUI using the IE Edge(Windows 7-Windows 10),IE9(Vista),IE 8(XP)
    The KEY was FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

    Interesting that they went HTML-based for the GUI. But that design in particular is fugly.

    I'm always ambivalent about GUI designs, as IMO don't serve any purpose aesthetically speaking and they are very rarely used once the AV has been configured. I would be more interested in whether the new GUI facilitates and speeds up some tasks, that would be my criterion for a choice.

    honestly all the new gui is as i said is almost like skinning a program. when you open the new gui and click settings it brings you to the old settings menu. when you click lic mgmnt same deal it bring you to the old one, same for scanner and everything else. imo the new gui is MUCH MUCH slower to respond then the old one was also. i really dont see the need for this change and personally very much dislike it. why add a gui on top of a gui with the new one only to open the old one to actually do anything. i also do not like the fact it is now html based (again imo)

    This is an issue that is more important than appearance, and I fully agree Avira's GUI has always been too slow to respond with any version of it as long as I can remember.

    7 replies, 6 against & one neutral.

    Success Stefan! :D
    ----------------------------
    Instead of new GUI, you better re-arrange/remove the useless items in taskbar drop-down menu, (they can used via the GUI only), imo.
    Personally, I only use the "Start update" option (in order to perform an update manually).

    Downloaded the new version but I'll wait awhile and see if 15.0.80.656 auto updates to it.

    if need to rearrange those stuff
    I would ask why not just remove or takeout the whole tray icon (legacy) stuff and bring the jobs to launcher? because all basic function of tray icon already present in launcher context menu

    Accually the New GUI was using Webkit/Blink(Chromium) Render Engine
