What can you tell me about browsing computers on a network?

Assuming you mean local network (like your house network) you are relatively safe. Be aware that being able to browse other people's computers likely means that they can browse yours. Open "My Computer". Any drive with the image of a hand cupping it is accessible to anyone on the local network.

Browsing on a network is safe as long as the network has a firewall and the network hub has antivirus security. In some cases, a corporate network will have stronger firewalls and network security than a personal computer, making it safe to surf on as compared to a personal computer.
