Patent ID: 8631330

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising employing a computer system including at least one processor to perform: an anti-malware application customization sequence comprising: displaying to a user a desired graphical user interface (GUI) content complexity questionnaire, the desired GUI content complexity questionnaire inviting the user to select a desired anti-malware application GUI content display complexity from a plurality of content complexity levels, the complexity levels including a low complexity, an intermediate complexity, and a high complexity level; in response to displaying the desired GUI complexity questionnaire, receiving a user input indicative of the desired anti-malware application GUI display complexity; displaying to the user a desired anti-malware user involvement questionnaire associated with at least one of decision making and security management, the desired anti-malware user involvement questionnaire inviting the user to select a desired level of user involvement in configuring non-GUI settings of the anti-malware application; and in response to displaying the desired anti-malware user involvement questionnaire, receiving a user input indicative of the selected desired level of user involvement in configuring non-GUI settings of the anti-malware application; a display of an anti-malware application graphical user interface (GUI) configured according to the user input indicative of the desired anti-malware application graphical user interface display complexity, wherein for the low complexity level, the GUI generates an application home display comprising a plurality of common user task control items, each common user task control item being configured to receive a user input initiating a common anti-malware application task; and for at least one level selected from the intermediate complexity and high complexity levels, the GUI generates an application home display including a plurality of functional area indicators, each functional area indicator being configured to receive a user input initiating a display of a dashboard for a corresponding functional area of the anti-malware application; and a non-GUI anti-malware function configured according to the selected desired level of user involvement in configuring non-GUI settings of the anti-malware application.
