I have a question. I was recently told that after my computer was cleaned by a professional, that I could still get viruses from the other computer in the house that goes through the one router we use. Is this true? If so, how can I be online at the same time as the other computer & have no sharing whatsoever so I don't get their crappy viruses? Is that possible or do I have to get a seperate internet connection altogether? Please help!

I would like to have a single access Internet connection but at the same time one which my family could access the Internet on using a network(preferably wireless).
How would I set up through my ISP to do this?
Is there a way to have the access given from my ISP to go like this:
