Question of contamination: virus defense, safety
I have been asked to take a look at a computer that is suspected to have a
virus problem. Obviously, if there is no intercourse between this computer and
my Mac G4, then no potential issues would exist and I have safety to take a
look see.
BUT, suppose I connect the Mac and the questionable computer to the same
Ethernet connection for access to the internet! Is there any defense for the
ethernet connection or is this just a foolish question of potential
contamination?
QUESTION: Do I run any risk to my Mac and or the house ethernet with this
possible connection that provides an access point for a virus of unknown
existence and threat?
Thanks.
