Some families in my neighbourhood are using wireless internet without any
security.
I know that using security (password or Mac-address filtering) is often
advisable, but I would like to know better what risks are involved by having
an open wireless network:
1) Can virus spread across a wireless network between computers which are
only sharing the internet connection?
2) Is it possible for users sharing an internet connection to gain access to
files on other computers sharing the connection?
answered in the other group you also posted this too.
For future reference, cross posting vs separate or multi-posting helps
keep the question and and replies less fragmented.
