3. It looked more like a V8 or at least a V5, not V2 with all the changes.
4. I don't like processes running at startup. I see nowhere where you can stop the tray icon within the program from running. I had to us M$ Config to do so. While I understand the purpose of it running for real time monitoring, not having ability to stop it from loading is a issue AFAIC!

I hate to be negative, since this obviously took a hell of a lot of effort, but this is too much too soon. It needs to be a V2, not a V8.
1. We commented on the size before - this will still decrease, but during beta, it makes testing easier.

2. Huge? In what terms? See the new thread about UI changes, and feel free to suggest improvements to make it less huge

3. A step in the major version number to us means a rewrite of most code. Can't quite understand your version arguments, did you suggest we should skip version numbers?

4. Good point. But Live Protection without the tray is not having any user interaction, and that means it's "essential" and if it would be easy to stop it from starting up, the chance of many people having issues because they didn't know what turning this off means is increasing a lot.

Negative feedback is probably more important than positive one, since it helps us make things better
