and hikers

What operating systems?
Wired/ wireless?
How many users?
Open to the public?

Best things in general are to run anti virus, do not run as administrator for normal use, disable wireless or enable encryption, change default passwords, use strong passwords.

Keep software and OS patched up to date.

That should at least help with keeping the hikers out. As far as the viruses, look for one of the good anti-virus apps or suites.

If you'll excuse me, I'll reascend my pedestal. It's so much easier to observe the lower orders from there without having to actually interact with you. :D
