Hamachi gives problem?

Question

i know hamachi connects one computer to another via the ip address and network blah blah

but according to my friend. he says that it causes a lot of virus problems as it links one infected computer to another,assuming both pc are in the same channel

so is that true?

Answer 1

This is entirely true, as it creates A VPN (virtual private network) straight to your computer. If anyone that is on the same network wants to do something to your PC, it is the same as having them in your house (w/e) on the same LAN as you with their malicious PC. >_<

Also as you said viruses can spread over networks. So in short, if you have a good AV (anti virus) such as Kaspersky, it shouldn't be a major problem... if you don't then don't use it.

I hope that helped
