If we are talking about PC Anywhere'd machine, we are probably not
talking about ultra secure machines anyhow.  I agree with another
response to this thread saying that home firewalls shoul dbe enforced
(you mean you are not using one??  :)  

However, I'd say that the threat of importing virii, trojans, etc... is
no more than say, a user opening a virused email...  you just need to be
aware and careful as with any system/network.  Plus, by limiting access
to only PC Anywhere, you are mitigating the exposure, as well as by
implementing access on a user by user basis.
