Hi,
In short - yes. The Internet Connection Sharing on the first PC will
just send any traffic unaltered to the W98 PC, so any emails, exployts
or downloaded viruses could go through the first PC, without being
detected, and then get onto the second PC.
Bare in mind also the license aggreement for AVG7 free.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] AVG On A Network
Hello again,
As stated in my last message, I am helping a friend set up a network
between two PC's. The PC which has the modem attached to it has a copy
of AVG 7 installed. Will this virus protection be sufficient to protect
the Windows
98 SE PC which will be connected to the XP PC using Internet Connection
Sharing over a CAT5 cable, or does the Windows 98 SE PC need its own
virus protection? I am aware that separate virus protection would be
desirable in case infected floppies were to be inserted into the second
PC, but assuming floppies aren't going to be used, will e-mails be
scanned by the first PC before being sent to the second, or will the AVG
on the first PC be bypassed by any traffic destined for the second PC?
Thanks again for any help,
Caroline.
