Homegroups Question

[Barquentine]

I have only just discovered Homegroups and have connected two laptops using this method. I have a third laptop upstairs which runs quite well but has a Trojan virus in it which is proving hard to remove.
If I join that laptop to the Homegroup (only for printer sharing - nothing else) - could that virus somehow utilise the home network to get into one of the other laptops? My question no doubt reveals how little I know about how these things work!

Until you get rid of the Trojan, it would be unwise to connect the laptop to any other piece of computer equipment.
