If you have your machine on a LAN you can:

1) Disable Internet access with fixed IP assignment (DHCP) specifying
non-existent default gateway.
2) Install NAI/McAfee on this machine and another on LAN with Internet access.
3) Configure 2nd machine to get updates on-line.
4) Configure secure machine to get updates from 2nd machine.

You can probably do this with other anti-virus products

Thanks Newell. Unfortunately, the laptops won't be connected to a LAN,
so data transfer must be done by USB or CD.
