hiho


we currently have 4 comps in our house, conencted to the net via a router.
each comp has XP home btw.

i have NAV and update definitions daily.
the router has a firewall and i have Zonealarm on my comp also.

2 of the other 3 comps have NAV on them
no one else has a firewall on their comp.

everyone downloads stuff regularly and access the net and use email daily.

one guy refuses to install anti virus...
but we had problems with the network as everytime one of us tried to look at files on his comp, then their Windows would freeze .
so i made him install NAV and basically all the .exe files were infected. so then he was annoyed at me 'cause none of his progs worked!

i believe his comp is clean now but win xp will still crash if we try to access his comp.


ok so basically i want to know how to make my comp secure seeing as the other 3 are not really bothered about security.

am i constantly at risk of getting a virus from the other comps?
we all have shared files and my firewall i believe gives free access to the LAN.
i want to be part of the LAN so we can play games and share files but i dont want thier viruses!


also am i at risk if say one of the other cops has a trojan on it?


thanks for any advice in advance
