1. Your desktop PC needs only a PCI wireless card. It slots into any spare PCI slot actually inside your computer (you have to take the side off to fit it!). The PCI slots are the ones where your dial-up modem (if you have one) are fitted.
2. Yes, viruses can spread over networks. All PCs on the network should have their own antivirus program running.
3. Some routers allow you to impose cap limits for each client on the network via the router's control panel.

Yes, you can get wireless USB dongles, similar to bluetooth dongles, if you don't fancy taking the side off your PC. You can buy them from amazon if I remember correctly. The only thing is, the new PC must support USB 2.0 (which it will if it's brand new
)
As for the router, you'll have to read (download it from the manufacturer's web site if necessary) the documentation I'm afraid since each router is different. Router control panels are always accessed via your web browser, usually by typing in it's IP address (10.0.0.2 is a common router IP address) and entering the required username and password.

@lamont what u mean?
any pci device is easy to fit. take case off. put in an available socket (just pushes in). a blind person could do it

most pcs should have atleast 1 free as standard. just take your case off now and have a look. will be ok as long as you dont touch anything. its just a white rectangle. there should be at least 3 of them in a quite modern pc. some devices do not need drivers as pc will install it automatically although some will need the os cd (eg windows xp cd, or a driver cd). should be easy to get drivers off internet if it doesnt come with any

Cat5E cable and a DSL modem cable is what you need (I sound like Yoda there
)
The wireless card, PCI or USB, will come with a driver disk. In the case of USB, you put the cd in first and install the software before plugging the dongle in. For the PCI card, you put the card in first with the pc switched off, turn the PC on, cancel the 'found new hardware wizard' and stick the CD in then.
