Viruses in downloads/webs
How secure are downloads from unix.com, linux.com, etc? Not talking about off the wall individual user sites, but sites like unix.com, download.com, tucows.com? We've been inundated at work lately from viruses, and I want to make sure that for things like work related downloads, that those kind of sites are secure. Not talkig about downloading music files, movies, I mean things like gcc, gzip, etc off these main sites. Any feedback/opinion appreciated as to this question?
Thanks, kym

NAME
pip - install Python packages
SYNOPSIS
pip [command] [options]
DESCRIPTION
pip is an alternative Python package installer. It performs the same basic job as easy_install, but with some extra features. It can work
with version control repositories (currently only Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar repositories), logs output extensively, and prevents partial
installs by downloading all requirements before starting installation.
It has some disadvantages when compared to easy_install. It does not use egg files, although it does preserve egg metadata. Some setuptools
features are not yet supported, and some custom setup.py features won't work.
COMMANDS
The command comes before any options. The following commands are recognized:
help
Show the help text.
bundle
Create "bundles" which can be used by pip to install the group of Python packages in multiple places.
freeze
Write the current list of installed packages to a requirements file, which can be used by pip to reinstall the same set of packages.
install
Install packages.
unzip
Unzip an individual package.
zip
Zip an individual package.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
--version
Show the version of the program.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose.
-q, --quiet
Be less verbose; suppress unimportant output.
--log=FILENAME
Log file where a complete (maximum verbosity) record will be kept.
--proxy=PROXY
Have pip use a proxy server to access sites. This can be specified using "user:password@proxy.server:port" notation. If the password is
left out, pip will ask for it.
--exists-action=EXISTS_ACTION
Default action when a path already exists.Use this option more then one time to specify another action if a certain option is not
available, choices: (s)witch, (i)gnore, (w)ipe, (b)ackup
--timeout=TIMEOUT
Set the timeout for connecting to download sites, in seconds. This defaults to 15 seconds if not given.
