I have 4 computers all running xp home, how can i setup
my virus scan to scan all the computers on my network? I
am running McAfee virus scan 2004 version 8.0. Any help
would be appreciated.

Some virus scanning programs won't scan networked drives. If yours does,
you'd have to map the network drives, then choose them for scanning.

However, this won't help keep viruses off of the three that don't have the
virus software installed. Finding them after they've infested the computer
is useful, but at the point they could already have done damage that can't
be reversed. You're really better off having some sort of antivirus program
on each computer, and if you also want to scan remotely, that's a plus.
