Firstly you dont need to have internet access to access your local network. Thats important.
Second you must have a firewall and antivirus when your online mate.
But before that IMO turn off your net. Get your PC clean first. Well before you worry about your shares.
Honestly if you have been compromised then you need to fix that before you consider getting your home network back up.
But please mate get some AV and a firewall.
This is probably the problem all along. You got infected due to lack of security and now your pc is compromised.
Me personally i would reinstall my OS if that happened to me.
... I think you have misread... everything.
Firstly, I know that I do not need access to the internet to access my internal network, I mentioned it as a confirmation of certain level of connectivity.
Secondly, it is not an issue with my connecting to others but of others connecting to me.
Third, the ZeroAcccess rootkit evades most virus scanners and I would have gotten infected either way even if I had some clunky, shitty, pricey scanner like McAfee or Norton. Not to mention the fact that I told you nothing about how I got infected. Not that it matters in the least or has anything to do with resolving my current issue but you have no idea what protections I was running when it happened.
Now, my issue is not due to a current infection, I said "after" with purpose. Since getting infected I have run SuperAntiSpyware, HijackThis, Spybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, CCleaner, the Kaspersky Rescue Disk, ComboFix, TDSSKiller (specific to my rootkit), GMER, rkill, and UnhackMe. If you really think I am still infected or that you could do better then I am all ears (and open to let you come and have a peek). Otherwise let us speak about my current issue without criticizing my internet habits and mostly resolved past infections.
I do understand you believe you are trying to help but telling me that you think it is my fault and that you reinstall your OS at any sign of trouble does zero to even consider my issue or aid me in any way.
