Network- does all pc,s need anti virus

brewman · 01-06-2007

Hi
Im running Norton 2007 on my main pc which connects to a network switch leading to another pc and a laptop.

Im wondering if i need to install Norton on all the pc,s or just the one that stays on all the time and connects to the switch.

To give protection you need to install it on all of your PC's. Make sure you have a firewall and anti-spyware software aswell, if you have Norton Internet Security then you will have them anyway.

What is your Norton product? I know for a fact that Symantec Antivirus Corporate version that can be installed to client computers from the server. For the other products (such as Home), I believe Upgrader's advice does the trick.
