The Avast Home Edition download file is only about 300 KB in size, yet the
system requirements states that the app needs 100 MB of disk space. What's
up with that???

Did you look a bit farther down the page than just "Download Now"?

Line 1: Download avast! Home Edition - Universal installation file

This is the 300k "installer" file. When I downloaded and ran it, it connected
to the Internet and began downloading "setupeng.exe".

Line 2: Download avast! Home Edition - English (32.76 MB)

This is the file "setupeng.exe".
Wanna bet 32.76MB expanded is a lot closer to 100MB?
