Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Sorry, but you are wrong.

If they don't have up-to-date anti-virus protection, then it is entirely possible for them to become infected, depending upon the type of virus.

If they're all plugged in to the same router, they ARE on the same network! Even if the were not on the same IP network, if there was communications established between the networks, then worm type viruses can easily spread.

Answer 3

hi yes they can get a virrus when joined to a network etc ok
you should always insure all pc,s or laptops have an up to date anti virus and firewall installed,
and if you are on bt total broadband then you should download and install the free norton anti virus and firewall software available on options 2,3,and 4 of bt broadband its free with theese options so make the best of the free software andinstall them and activate them then set them to automactic update then they will update and scan your pc every so many days or so when connected to internet etc and then you should be virus free
ok hopes this helps

Answer 5

All PCs on the network will eventually get infected if they share the infected files or programs
