Can't you boot in safe-mode with network support? Also most of the BootCD utilities (hirens, etc) have network support and a bootable mini-XP to run other windows utilities off USB key or similar.

I've been disabling the AV's services, but I've found that when I do that with NIS (surprise, suprise, it's a piece of crap) then it shuts down access to the internet because it's firewall is off. Then I end up having to turn the service back on (no small feat because the PoS tries to prevent changes to it's service settings even though it's turned off.) Does anyone know of a better way to disable AVs (especially NIS) without uninstalling so that I can still access the internet? T
