well wats the point of having a tooltip of any kind then? u can see that avast is working by opening the UI as well. while wer at it, why doesnt avast just remove the tray icon entirely, u can simply go into ur start menu and launch the UI to see if its working properly.
the point is it makes sense to have that kind of info in the tooltip, i also wouldnt mind if avast made the text more relevent as in the IS version should say Avast Internet Security, etc.
