    Isn't that the case with just about every program(unfortunately).Notice how Nero grew through the years into a big overbloated elephant.Mc Afee too.

    Hello everyone, this is Keoni Chavez, AVG's Junior Community Manager. I wanted to just briefly comment on the issue of increasing executable file sizes.

    AVG 2011 is larger than its predecessor because the whole installation package also includes all the runtime libraries and all languages. To only download the components necessary in a particular environment, we encourage you to use the live installer (downloader). Unlike other competitors, we include the virus definition database in the package so no update is required when first installed, whereas others may download it before first scan.

    I hope this helps ease understanding of AVG's practices, and if you haven't tried AVG 2011 yet, help yourself to the free version today!

    Best,
    Keoni
