Huh?   That seems like a very strange measure of benefit from blocking viruses 
to me.   It's a bit like measuring how much less frequently you need to buy 
shoes as a benefit of driving a motor car.

No.   You might be able to get an idea from some other A-V vendors' websites, 
but I wouldn't think it's commonly listed information.

Anyway, what do you want to measure the size of?   The raw binary?   A 
UUencoded MIME attachment?   Base64?   All these things and more will be very 
different sizes.
