Long answer: Bundling an AV will implode the installer size. Plus most Windows users have AV installed anyway(from different vendors too). Any decent AV has on-file-access scan so it will catch any malware present upon double clicking anyway.

EXCEPTION: Unless you are really experienced and careful, you don't need an AV.

1. Long answer: Bundling an AV will explode the installer size.
2. EXCEPTION: If you are really experienced and careful, you don't need an AV.
