![]() Most free antivirus software that downloads as a web installer still has the full setup file on the website, but it’s usually away from the main download page in support pages or forums. If you’re a tech minded person or the computer you want to install the antivirus on currently has a limited or no internet connection, then the small file is of little use. ![]() ![]() The bandwidth an antivirus company needs to supply is reduced because every user downloads a small file and not the full 50-300MB unless they’re actually installing it. ![]() This either downloads the full setup file when you run it, or fully installs the software by downloading the required components in the background. With the increasing bandwidth larger setup files and definitions are consuming, it’s perhaps understandable that some companies have resorted to offering a small “Web Installer” when you download the software. In addition to the setup installer, the virus definitions you need to download are growing all the time as well to include all the known threats. The problem for the the antivirus companies that offer free products is the software package gets larger all the time to include new features that help to keep computers secure from the latest threats. There’s no doubt that Free Antivirus software is incredibly popular these days, with many of the top rated ones being downloaded millions of times every year. ![]()
