ixDownload.com Announces the Launch of Their Antivirus Software Guide

BELLEVUE, WA, March 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Just like their natural counterparts, computer-based viruses evolve quickly. Early versions were relatively localized and obvious. These were often created by nerds and geeks to show off their technical prowess. Nowadays, viruses are more insidious and malicious. Not only are contemporary viruses harder to detect, they also spread more rapidly due to the Internet. Contemporary viruses are also mostly commercial in nature. The number of locations and methods where users can get infected have also multiplied and evolved. Up to the early 90s, infection was generally restricted to swapping infected floppy disks or infected files in a LAN. With the rise of the Internet, infections take many forms ranging from malicious email attachments, suspicious search results, spammed email links, instant message links, and many others.

"The game has definitely changed when it comes to viruses," says Oliver Thompson, ixDownload's Media principal. "The old guarantees of security, however tenuous they were, are completely gone now. Networks and individual PCs' security are determined on a day to day basis." Thankfully, as viruses evolve so do antivirus programs. "There is an ongoing arms race out there between virus coders and antivirus companies. The consumer must keep pace with the changes or risk getting overtaken by increasingly creative and malicious viruses," adds Thompson. To meet these challenges, ixDownload.com, the Internet's leading software review and applications authority, has released an antivirus resource page that helps prospective antivirus program buyers pick the best package.

"Unlike other websites which claim to be authority sites, ixDownload.com offers a fully impartial antivirus resource and review page--we don't play favorites. In fact, we don't even specifically name antivirus programs in our resource," says Thompson. IxDownload.com's antivirus software reviews and resource page, walks users through the software selection process with easy, practical, and verifiable considerations that help them pick the software package that meets their particular needs. "Instead of outright recommending a particular package, we understand that there is no 'one size fits all' principle at work in antivirus software. Each situation is different," says Thompson. Instead, ixDownload.com empowers users to match their situation's particular needs (size of enterprise, usage patterns, and other factors) with general considerations to arrive at a purchasing decision and find the best solution for their situation.
