Virus/spyware that is good, yet small to download?

Virus/spyware that is good, yet small to download?

I've bought three current V/S packages and they all
seem to think that everone has high speed internet.

I use dialup and can't do an 8 hour download.

I'm know I'm OT for this newgroup, but please
post some useful suggestions and web addresses.

Thank you very much!

Try Avira Antivir, it's free for home use, just like AVG, but much
smaller. However, with dial-up, you'll have no choice but to wait, no
matter what you get.

Many public libraries have high speed internet access. Perhaps you
can download to a thumb drive or if your computer is portable bring it
in.

The problem is that you can't go running to the library everytime there
is a virus scanner update (i.e. everyday). Even the small definition
files are huge for dial-ups.

I know what the OP is talking about completely though, as I am currently
staying in Bangladesh, and "high-speed Internet" in this country is
barely twice as fast as dial-up. I think my home broadband back in
Canada was as much bandwidth as most corporations get in this country.

Yousuf, thank you very much.

With System Suite 10 it was 108MB and it had to be done
without restart!

Decent writeup at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avira

cnet is one place to d/l it. Maybe also tucows.
Started with cnet but canceled due to my weather.

"Only" 42MB, but as an .exe where I can restart.

I've got thunderstorms today and tomorrow so will
have to wait a while.
