Lack of outsourcing high quality control has to be the number one risk. Even though you are able to put into place a measure of anti virus server defense this rear guard action ignores the first level of defense itself; the environment under which the web server is hosted and by which entry is permitted.

I personally favour using NOD32 from ESET for anti-virus defences for personal and server anti-virus defence but several subcontractors will be unable to afford even relatively inexpensive anti-virus protection. Additionally, if the individuals you engage do not use correctly licensed software then they are at risk of using cracked and virus infected illegal pirate software. Pirate software increases the risk of people introducing their viruses upon your web site. If you should choose to outsource to a third party, or they sub-contract, your risks are increased because of the higher risk of pirate software being utilized. It is much better for web developers to use open source software instead of cracked software.

If your web site is built upon Windows (tm) technology then it will attract a far higher cost of entry for any developer. Your sub-contracted labour, used to develop your web site, may well be tempted to use cracked software. When using a Windows based operating-system, it goes without saying that the operating system itself needs to be properly licensed to benefit from the security patches it may require. Indeed, the entire stack of processes involved in the configuration of a web server will need their security patches to be deployed. This may include issues such as networking, database drivers, application protocols and many more services which run on modern web servers. All of these services and applications will need to be fully licenced and currently supported. This is the principle reason why open source web servers have an advantage with their access to security patches and lower cost of entry for developers. Apache hosting is more robust simply for commercial reasons rather than technical reasons and Google knows this or measures it as a quality factor. Your web site server application is sent as a header response to web site page requests.

The moral question of software abuse, or overcharging, is not the core problem. What is very doubtful is the safety and integrity of pirate programs being offered over the web and your likely exposure to risk. You need to be sure to only use web developer experts who know the risks and operate to minimum developer standards to protect their clients or maybe their own employer. I would consider any developer who falls below this standard may be accused of expert misconduct seriously enough to risk their employment as a Milton Keynes Web Developer.  Play with fire at home, if you have to, but don't bring it into work!
