Yes. You need an antivirus on each machine.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Yes you need an anti-virus program on both of your PC's. A firewall will not protect against viruses. Is there a good reason that you are using WEP encryption on your wireless, rather than the more secure WPA-PSK?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
