Just a quick question here, sounds like everyone has lots of computers joined by a router as in my case, is it better to have them share everything on their network thus allowing file transfers which also allows cross infection too, or would it still be better to share only Internet access and use a small external harddrive(mine being 80gb) for transfers of stuff meaning the physical hussle of pluging and repluging but a deminshed risk of infection.
