You're mixing up a lot of things here.

First off: Google saying the file is too large to be scanned is just their way of saying... well exactly what they say... the file is too large (over 100mb i think) for their auto-scan to scan the file, meaning you'll have to do it yourself. It's just a note and a potential warning.

Second: When the C++ Redistributable installation pops up, the Viewer is already fully installed and these will always pop up, they (both of them) are required to be installed once for the Viewer to be able to run. If you installed both of them already you can simply cancel out of them, like i said the Viewer installation is already done by that time. You should find a shortcut for the Viewer on your desktop.

Third: There are no additional downloads involved, everything needed for the Viewer comes with the Viewer (including the C++ Redists)
