Abstract
In some embodiments, a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer security application is automatically configured according to a user profile of the user. Upon installation of the computer security application, a desired GUI complexity questionnaire is displayed to the user. The application then matches the user to a user profile out of a set of predefined user profiles, according to the user's answers to the questionnaire. User profiles reflect a user's desired complexity of display and control (e.g. Novice/Intermediate/Expert, Basic/Intermediate/Advanced). The information displayed and application controls provided by the GUI window vary in detail according to the user profile. Selecting a user profile propagates multiple individually-user-configurable display and control settings of the GUI, as well as under-the-hood (non-GUI) settings of the anti-malware application.
