I have a simple question, if you have two computers on a router, what's the likelyhood of one system transmitting a virus of some type to another even if
one or both have up-to-date virus detection programs?
In my opinion, transmission of small viruses like trojans will only be transmitted to the other system if that specific infected file is sent,however, large mailicious viruses would be able to spread from one PC to the next quite easily destroying data on both, correct? Of course the best practice if to have an to date virus shield running on both systems at all times.
Thank you for your replies...
