I don't think it's dangerous at all, especially if you are behind a router.

trust me... if you other internally networked family members are not as literate, you WILL need a firewall....

my com was screwed up so bad, I switched entirely to Linux (just over a month back).

by the time i realised how bad it was, hardware started failling on me.

I don't run a firewall. Just the router has one. None of the machines in the internal network run a firewall.

I make sure everything's up to date on all the PCs and everything is scanned daily (at night). (boy do I love patch Tuesdays hahaha)

Never had a problem of getting infected by another pc over the network ever in the many years I've done this. (and there are 5 laptops and 5 PCs connected to it - good thing the router is set to reset every week - DD-WRT ftw). Just have to be prudent I guess (especially when it comes to parentals).
