This is because it contains a database,
It's probably this big because it now includes support for Premier Election Solutions' (formerly Diebold) machines. See also http://www.xkcd.org/463/ :) (is the bandwidth really such a big deal now that people usually toss DVD images around?) Also note - every other virus scanner I'm aware of also comes with a database "out of the box" (that sophos update I just downloaded was also 24Meg). Of course, outdated as soon as you hit "Download", but with the incremental updates of clam, not quite worthless. -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !!
