my friend next door recently asked me to check his laptop for viruses and clean it up for him. He has no internet so I would need to hook him up to my wireless network in my apartment to update his software and clean up his computer. my question is, if his laptop is infected will it affect my laptop if its on the same network?
he would just be picking up my signal which is also how i connect.

the problem there is that i would need to connect to the internet to download it to his laptop since i dont have any blank cds..... so i guess hes out of luck!
Just disable the connection on your machine until you're done.
