Noob virus/spyware question

Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question, which it probably is.

If a computer on my home network is infacted, can it infect the other computers in my house using the same wireless network? ...even if the infected computer doesnt send me any emails or files, ect.???

Thanks for your help guys. My cousins computer has a bunch of viruses and spyware but he wont let me reformat it.

It could, if the virus is designed that way, and depending on the firewall and antivirus settings.

Do you know what virus the PC is infected with?

I'd be very weary if that cousin of yours wants to connect to your network...
