Agreed. For the majority of time I ran previous Avast! after setting it up initially the icon sat in my tray and it quietly did its stuff and was hardly seen. If I didn’t like the rolling animation of the new one I would just stop that animation - it has no effect on the way the program works. It is all new at the moment and people are going to look for and report and help to sort out the more important problems it may have, imo appearance rates very low on the priorities.
