Security on networked pc's

Maints

Hi,

I have a small pc network (3 pc's) . One pc has an internet connection and 2 other pc's don't have an internet connection and are not connecting to the internet via the 1st pc. The internet pc has antivirus, firewall etc. but my question is, does the non internet pc's need antivirus, firewall etc. ? I would guess that they wouldn't but..........

Any help appreciated,

Paul.

There is no need for a firewall but might be no harm to have anti-virus on them as a virus could still be spread without access to the internet

Static M.e.

I would stick AV and a FW on them all, just to be on the safe side.

Use something like Avg and zonealarm you wont even notice them updating.

Someone could very easily stick and infected usb / disk into one of them.

Better safe than sorry and all that jazz

Thanks for the advise. The internet pc had got infected (why don't people keep their AV up to date , but the 2 other pc's hadn't....thankfully !
