can i scan a netbook with my pcs mcafee security?

Do this on-line scan first : http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

only if you might be worried that you could be infected now.

then go and get avast for full time protection,

you can not get a better anti virus system for free.

it has many features you will have to pay for in other systems.

you can download and install it from here

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

don't forget to register or you will only have it for 60 days

by registering you will get a licence for a full year.

just re-register at the end of the year to get another one year licence.

if you feel you would be even safer with a software firewall

then

try this one it's also free and it has no conflicts with avast

Mc Afee is a bit too heavy for a netbook

you should be able to. a netbook is just a really small laptop, so it should read the disc perfectly.
