Microsoft Office 2003 — 72 MB download

Background

• Starter Editions / OEM Versions: Microsoft sometimes released stripped-down versions (such as "Word 2002" or "Office Starter") that were significantly smaller, but these were usually pre-installed and not distributed as standalone 72 MB downloads.
• The "Portable" Phenomenon: During the mid-2000s, "portable" applications became popular. These were unauthorized modifications of the software where help files, spell checkers, and advanced features were stripped to allow the program to run from a USB stick. A heavily stripped "Portable Office 2003" could theoretically approach 70–80 MB, containing only Word and Excel.
• Malware Vectors: The most probable scenario is that a 72 MB executable is malicious. Malware authors often use the label of popular legacy software to entice users into downloading Trojans or adware. The file size is large enough to contain a payload but small enough to download quickly on slower connections.

• File Size: 72 MB (compressed file size)
