Answer 1

Normally they can not see what you are doing online.
However If they know how to hack and plant a key-logger on your machine or hack into it any other way they can.

The following safety programs, or ones like it will help keep them out.
You also need to be sure file sharing is turned off on your machine or they could view and even change those files. You can leave a shared folder open and everyone can share those music, video, or anything files between computers.

Also be sure your wireless router has security set up properly or anyone within a mile can get into your system just as easily as you. See your router manual for instructions. and DON'T give it a lame password.

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)


The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)

The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version

AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Answer 2

I use a router to get the internet on my wireless, so the desktop and the notebook computer use the same internet, but no they do not share the same information. You cannot see what the other is doing online....hope that helps...

Answer 3

A instant modem router could be a instant router/modem combination and a instant router could in basic terms be a router with the aid of itself. in case you had extreme-velocity cable information superhighway you are able to desire a modem related to a instant router to get on line.

Answer 4

No they cannot. It is two seperate connections to the Internet. That is the whole idea of a network. Two or more people can connect to resources and use it privately.

Answer 5

No they wouldn't be able to see what you're looking at. All you're doing is sharing a net connection, or printer connection, or some kind of other network connection, but you're not streaming data back to it, so no one would be able to see... don't worry. Why, you looking at something you don't want others to see? ;)

Answer 6

of cos not. even though u are using the same connection but the info is private. so no worries.

Answer 7

it is blocked....no worries
