Yes you can, make sure you have your computer protected and make sure that you go into network and sharing center and set it up so you don’t share anything.

Yes, you have to disable all sharing, make sure you have your firewall up and not leave incoming ports open. If their computers are infected they could get to your too is you are not careful. However the good news is that is you protect your system with these things plus a good anti virus/anti spy package you will be fine.
