Why The Difference in File Sizes A week or so ago, I made the big mistake of downloading a zip file for the ***** program. I now have poroblems - I tried uninstalling the program but I am left with something that causes a window to keep popping up telling me that there is no valid certificate file and that window is driving me crazy! ANyways, I want to try downloading and reinstalling the program again and then trying an uninstall but I am unsure now which download to use as they vary in size from 632 MB to 197.7 MB. These are all zip files that I am considering - why is there such a difference in file sizes? ANy help or suggestions are appreciated. __________________________________________________ Edited to comply with the House Rules.

I think you'll find the 197 is actually 197 KB not 197 MB & is a virus. Organisations trying to stop illegal sharing of files such as software will plague the network with dud & fake files & files that contain viruses. Remember that under normal circumstances you're downlding from other people like yourself. So their offering might exclude some files.
