Re: turning a wireless router on and off

Wireless is just another form of network connectivity and if you have
configure the laptop and the other computer to have network connectivity
such as for access to file shares then yes viruses/worms could propagate
between computers. If you have no need to access shares between computers
then enable a firewall like the Windows Firewall to protect the computers
from each other and disable file and print sharing. --- Steve
