I forgot the ask, why do you want to go this route rather than just downloading the apps on to the other machine ?

In that case why not get some replacements

AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1) is good and free AV
A couple of good removal tools are Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and Adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)

ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/)

Hope all this lot helps;)

Since they are networked, you can map the drive of the machine you want to scan on the other PC then just scan the drive letter. Lookup Map Network drive in XP Help for details on how.
