I agree with the OP's assessment. As a certified PC tech since 1998, I've seen my fair share of rogue AV programs. This new GUI reminds me of them in many ways. In fact, the first time I saw it, I was sure that it was a rogue version of MBAM. The program has a few nice additions such as the root kit scanner, but it drastically lacks any sort of intuitive navigation. I also don't like that it doesn't show you the number of items detected after the scan is complete. I like to notify my clients how many malicious items I removed from their system and this new format makes it much more difficult. But, MORE than that... even after setting it up for the maximum depth scan, it missed items that v1.75 was able to catch after I uninstalled v2.x and reinstalled v1.75 and ran a full scan. How is this possible?? They were simple PUPs and v2.x completely missed them. I've attached a screenshot of the items it missed. All in all, I'm sure that I'll get used to v2.x in due time, but I sure wish I didn't have to. I'd prefer to stick with the v1.75 interface, maybe with the additional scan options, but some newer Windows 8.1 systems won't allow a database update only and forces v2.x on me. Dislike.
