Yes, but the performance will be no better than serially using the same
programs, and may be worse. Every Friday, during dinner, I run a full AV
scan, along with Spybot, AdAware, and SuperAntiSpyware scans, all at the
same time, on all of the computers in the house. It takes a while to
complete. The computers are really busy while they are running, with the
disc intensively thrashing.
