One for the IT bods

It would appear that as Xmas approaches there are more and more virus's about. So far this year I have had to re-format kids computers 8 or 9 times!

We run 4 computers off of a wireless hub. Mine is the business machine and I am running Norton which scans and updates every night it runs on a LAN cable. The others are all running AVG Free Version with LAN. One of these has never had a virus, and surprise susprise it's Elaine's biz laptop which is wireless. The kids however are getting loads.

How can I best protect everyone but not increase my own vulnerability? Should I run the hub straight onto a "server" with Norton installed and take everyone off that, or is it simply that kids go onto more risky sites, MSN etc and it's simply par for the course?
