1. No. The ADSL will be at the same speed. You just may have to share the bandwidth. The actual DSL speed will be exactly the same. But each might get 1/2 if both are making demands. If one is not, then the speed is pretty much the same as if there was 1 machine.
2. Cisco makes the best routers, but they can run a few thousand. The rest of us will use Linksys, Dlink and items we see at the stores. I find such very easy to setup.
3. Are you revealing you have a machine without an Antivirus? If so, run to the Security forum and ask about that. If you don't have such, at least you can look up FREE AVG on google.com to get something now.

I have a laptop and my husband will be using his pc and we will be connected to adsl with a router. Will this slow down our adsl download time for each computer? And what is the best router to use and how easy is it to hook up? Will we both have to the version of a virus protection on each computer. I will be using my laptop to connect my company?s server.
