GUI contest

Is anyone interested in this kind of contest?
The deal is to vote and share the best GUI only by three point of view:
1) graphic and aesthetic;
2) user freindly and correct commands positioning;
3) number of settings.

Sometimes there are different sw with terrific GUI but very user friendly so we could vote and write up three different lists.

Best taskbar icon: Norton 2007

 

Norton 2007 - great for simple users, and a lot of eye candy
kis 7 - great for advanced users
good taskbar icon - doesn't exist, i like f-secure because it shows the update progress
Unpleasent GUI's: AVG, Dr-Web

here is a DrWeb post of screenshots

 

Best GUI: KIS 7
Most Settings: NOD32
Worst GUI: AVG, Dr.Web
Best Taskbar Icon: Kaspersky

 

Best GUI: NAV/NIS
Worst GUI: AVG
Best Taskbar icon: PCtools (what can I say, I like the little brick wall )
Most settings: NOD32
Easiest to configure: NAV/NIS and KAV/KIS
Most time to configure: NOD32 (could be tough to a first time user)

 

Best GUI: NAV 2007 or F-Secure 2007

Worst GUI: Mcafee total protection

Best Taskbar icon: F-Secure, because it reminds me of Dr. Evil's logo from Austin Powers.

Most settings: NOD32 or Bitdefender

Easiest to configure: F-Prot 6

 

SIMPLY ....... GREAT!!!!!!!

 

i never noticed that. Maybe there's a relation

 

Best (good-looking) GUI - Trend Micro Internet Security and Virus Chaser
Most settings: Rising, BitDefender, NOD32
Worst GUI: eScan
Best taskbar icon: Virus Chaser

.....But this doesn't really matter, does it?

 

Bleah @ Viruschaser for best looking GUI and icon.

i was tempted to place VC has the worst gui, but avk 2006 stole it. (just)

 

Anyway, the differently colored Spider taskbar icon in VC is pretty good

I hope this version was not the Virus Chaser you tried, Chris. Your picture shows the original DialogueScience developed edition of Virus Chaser. The most recent version of VC looks like this:

BTW, where did you get that picture?

 

the one you showed is the one i tried, but i couldnt find that picture

i dont remember it being orange though, it does look better in orange so im glad i didnt select it as 'the worst'

i didnt like the software tho, too much of a clone of drweb, but they just dont do it right.
and i thought the spider icon was totally over-the-top, changing it to red instead of green, lol

if they totally re-vamped it, but still used the engine of drweb, with some good marketing skills it could be vastly improved.

 

Maybe you're right, but this is not the thread to discuss that, right?

 

Best GUI: AVK 2007
Most settings: KAV 7
Worst GUI: nod32
Best taskbar icon: Sophos

 

best GUI:kaspersky and f-secure.
most settings: kaspersky and nod32
least options AVG and F-Secure.
best taskbar icon kaspersky.

 

My opinion:

Best GUI: Norton 2008 beta, Avast! pro (skinable)
Worst GUI: AVG
Most settings: Avast! pro (i think most cofigurable AV), NOD32
Least settings: Norton
Best taskbar icon: Avast!, ESS
Worst taskbar icon: Symantec, eScan
