How do I access the internet with an infected computer that WILL NOT let me?

Question

Im trying to fix my friends Toshiba laptop. She has Windows 7, no anti-virus and is infected with a virus. The computer shows no connection problems; but I cannot access the internet or download a disc to clean it up. I want to use esetnod32 and malwarebytes. I`m not as tech savvy as most of you, but I can hold my own. Melissa.

Don't use a USB drive to transfer any data to the infected machine! Or you risk an infection of the USB drive and any other workstation you use it with. It is safer to use a CD for transfer.

I think the best way is to use a LINUX System, running by CD or USB drive like AVIRA-Rescue-Disc
