Spyware and Wireless Networks
I share a wireless network with my son - only for Internet access, no file sharing. He's picked up some spyware on his computer, and we're still working at getting it completely cleaned up. There's no indication of a virus present, just the usual junk. Any significant risk of the spyware migrating from his pc to mine, via the network? Thanks for your feedback.
