Only GUI? Then it doesn't run like I would expect from an anti-virus
program. I was away for a week (have ya all missed me?) and I had put
my PC to init 3, which is basicaly non-GUI.

I can imagine people who need an anti-virus program will more often run
non-GUI.

This is not about GUI is better or CLI is better. It is what you expect
a service or deamon expect to run as. For me this would in most cases be
CLI.

Well, I loaded up the free Workstation Edition when it first became
available, but Avast has a server edition that has everything, a daemon,
background services and CLI commands. Not free.
