Recommend a free down loadable anti virus that will not take hours to download on dial up? a good on

I have dial up that is extremely slow, but I need an anti virus program. I have heard that some of these free ones are great. But, I do not want to be online for days downloading it. Can I download it in peices? a little at a time. And I need to be protected while I am online doing it can I leave the antivirus that is on my computer on there while I am downloading another one?

Avast! anti virus is great, I'm also on dial up and don;t have any problems.

But if you;re really stuck, watch out for magazines that give away dsoftware on disc. It's the easiest way, then you just download updates.
