WHY THE SIZE DIFFERENCE

by steve l Jul 11, 2007 5:59AM PDT

Hi Everyone
Could someone please tell me why when I went to download Zone Alarm firewall at Download.com it says the size of the download is 17.56mb.
Were as at filehippo it says the download size is 39.65mb.Surely they should both be the same.
Thanks Steve

My guess

As I recall, Zone Alarm has started distributing some virus scanner program along with the firewall, so the Download.com is probably sans-virus scanner and the File Hippo download is probably with virus scanner.
