This is because it contains a database, It's probably this big because it now includes support for Premier Election Solutions' (formerly Diebold) machines. See also http://www.xkcd.org/463/ :) (is the bandwidth really such a big deal now that people usually toss DVD images around?) Also note - every other virus scanner I'm aware of also comes with a database "out of the box" (that sophos update I just downloaded was also 24Meg). Of course, outdated as soon as you hit "Download", but with the incremental updates of clam, not quite worthless. Bandwidth still is an issue, although in the East, at least.Actually I am located in Ukraine, and 1GB traffic on my DSL-connectioncosts me about 20$. So I better buy DVD's ...And quite a few people still have 128kBit or 256kBit lines.Then traffic volume is also an issue. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
