Can spyware on one computer affect the internet speed of a computer sharing the connection?
hugh asked:
I share an internet connection with my brother - both connected to the same router - but his computer is really, really slow. Probably due to the amount of spyware/adware/viruses he has. What I wanted to know was, will the speed of his computer have an effect on my internet speed at all? Is that possible?

Possibly, but only by slowing down the connection if it is spewing data to the Internet.
