Mine is 131 MB.  Considering the last update from Windows was almost 400 MB, I'd consider the Alwil Folder a fairly small folder.  :)
Welcome to the forum.  :)

What Kind of data storage do you have that your worried about a relatively small folder?

My Alwil Software folder and sub folders are a total of 90.4MB and I periodically empty my log files via the log viewer. My data folder (included in the total) is only 48.5, so I don't know what you have been doing to get such a large size. The integ folder and the avast.int can get a bit large depending on how many programs and windows version is, mine is currently 11.6MB.

Debug files into avast log folder are generally due to avast size increase.
To clean them up, temporarily disable the avast self defense module:
1. Right click the 'a' blue icon on system tray.
2. Programs settings > Troubleshooting (tab)
3. Disable self defense module
Then delete the Debug*.txt files.

I wish there is a way to limit the debug files generated.
99,99% of the users are just losing disk space as they don't know what to do with these files.
