Routers and Firewalls
I previously didn't have a router setup and had two computers linked by a phoneline PCI card and internet sharing. I set up a virusscan and firewall (McAfee) on both computers.
I recently upgraded to a Linksys wireless router (WAP54G) and also added a wireless capable laptop to the home network. So now I have one hard wired computer, one WiFi PCI card computer, and one Centrino laptop running off the Linksys.
So, to finally get to my question, is having a firewall and/or virusscan necessary to have on each computer, or does the router basically handle the firewall for all and can I erase the McAfee from my system?
Thanks for any input on the topic!
