A definition update simply means that it detects a larger number of malware. -- Silver Slimer Wikipedia & OpenMedia Supporter |

It's normal for definitions to be that big. Kaspersky is probably up around 100MB for definitions. And the Windows Defender, if you're downloading defs regularly, the incremental file in that case is around 1-2MB or so. That's what I saw here, the last time I had Win8 U1 running. It's probably an install that doesn't have recent defs, you end up getting the whole thing in one download. Paul |

It's not on the update history screen, nor in Control Panel Programs and Features View installed updates. If Automatic updating is configured to notify (before download and install) the individual updates show the size on the Windows Update 'Select the updates you want to install' dialog box. Thereafter one would have to navigate to the update in the online download center to see the size. - Note: File size is always greater in the download center (than shown in Windows Update) since each downloadable application contains installer bits overhead to facilitate separate installation. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
