i made a home network between my laptop and my sister's PC with a linksys router sharing one internet connection
Before all this, my laptop has been clean and functioning with no problems.
her computer had popups, possibly trojans, viruses, etc.
Whenever I open IE, (homepage set to google.com), I get a popups, I think some spyware got on my computer and I can't get rid of it.
I ran spyaware S&D, adaware, updated norton virus on my sister's computer and found subseven virus, and other worms.
I ran adaware on mine, spyaware, but not norton antivirus..... you guys think there's a chance my laptop could be infected too?
also, when I try playing multiplayer games online.... my ping is way too high. It stays around 200... before this home network, I consistently got a ping less than 100. Are there ports open on my sister's or my computer that keeps the network slow? I don't notice any difference when I visit websites, but when I try playing games, it's unbearable. I'm on a T1 too.
