You can do this if you have network-aware antivirus software, such as Trend
Micro Officescan, or Norton CE (not my favorite), etc etc etc.

With standalone antivirus software, each computer has to run its own scans.

Regardless, each computer must have its own locally installed antivirus
software, whether it's centrally managed or not.

this has worked perfectly for me and ~30 machines for 6 years

I know a lot of people who use and like Norton CE. I personally will never
give another dime to Symantec, but that's just me.
