I was looking at the files of these first tests (2008) on the AV-TEST website and looking at the changes in those 12 years in the interface of the main antivirus on the market, and as I'm Nostalian I decided to create this topic to share with you, what I find amazing is how most AVs had a much more beautiful interface in the past than now, instead of evolving, was it a setback? Take a good look and tell me what you think (y)

*Some AVs have few images because they have not changed over the years.

If anyone wants another AV that is not listed, just tell me that I add (10 dollars each request). Prank :p

Bitdefender 2014 and Kaspersky 2012 are the most beautiful interfaces for me, they are the style I like.

music player look of Avast
Indeed the first thing that came to my mind :D
Take a good look and tell me what you think
For me Trend has evolved as the best looking interface with those lovely UI animations... followed by K and BD
Thanks for taking the time to do this presentation (y)

Brilliant, thanks for this! - Some memories there & why I used to dislike some interfaces - Some are very Windows XP which looking back was very colourful & made worse with the low resolutions we used then - Overall AV UI's have improved over time (I even like AVAST) :rolleyes::rolleyes:
