How safe is sharing files between 2 computers on a router?

We have two computers hooked up to a router and the internet. We are working on a slideshow for family members and want to be able to work on both computers.

We are running Windows XP and McAfee security suite with firewall on both.

Your information should be pretty safe just stay away from peer to peer download sites like limewire and kazaa. These sites allow outside pc's just about the same access to your computer as your present setup. also consider downloading the following programs (FREE). Ad AwareSE (Spyware Cleaner), Spy Bot (Spyware Cleaner), Avast (Virus Software), and Zone Alert (Firewall). I know you already have Mcafee but the more the better.
