Mike,

Once you boot the disc (it takes a frighteningly long time to boot up 
windows from a super-compressed CD), it will ask you first which shell 
to launch, the default one is fine.  Then it will ask if you want to 
bring up the network interfaces. choose yes and just accept the defaults 
(assuming DHCP).  Then once you are online you can for instance launch 
SpyBot Search & Destroy (one of the AV tools), and use the built-in 
update function.  It will connect to their server and download the 
updates (to the RAMDISK) and then restart (spybot S&D restarts). You can 
then do a scan with the newest updates.

You can also use the web browser, etc, if you want to download install 
your own program (if its small enough to fit in the ramdisk).
