Not sharing your files isn't going to stop you from getting a virus...if you download infected files & don't scan before opening them, that's when you'll get a virus. And if you're unknowingly sharing infected files, the people downloading from you may end up infected as well.
What you have to do is make sure that you're using a good antivirus (AV) program. keep it updated & scan every file that you download, before you open it. Watch file sizes in your search results & avoid files smaller than about 2000 KB. Also watch file extensions & make sure you don't download anything that's marked mp3.exe, or any music which shows a program icon instead of a music icon.
WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!
