I noticed the program size in the “Add or Remove Programs” Control Panel is 94.48MB and the Alwil folder size is 92.5MB.
The download size is 25.1MB ?
I apologize if asking this stupid…

In general, installation programs contain compressed “archive” files out of which the actual program files are created and installed during the installation.
As well, extra components and/or updates and may be downloaded.
avast! installer will vary with each revision. Currently 4.8.1229 Pro is 26,555 KB, Home is 25,592. Installed avast! 4.8 Pro on my XP Pro PC is about 70 MB.
Vladimyr explains why the download size is less, same for virtually all installation files.#
The Add remove programs is reporting all avast files and not just those in the avast4 folder, there are some files in the system folders.
Personally I never rely on these figures as they aren’t particularly accurate IMHO, heck they report avast as rarely used and mine is only showing 62.61MB.
It depends also the number of skins you’ve downloaded, the logs and reports size, if there are dump/crash files (debug) there…
