Download the utilities and burn them to a CD or load it on to a thumb drive. Then you can just load the programs on to the other computer without having to mess with his isp settings.
Also, you should be able to use his AOL dial-up as long as you have his login info and lives in the same general area as you.

if you are wanting to use your isp go to control panel, internet connections, new and enter your info.

I have used a utility CD iwth AdAware, AVG, Spybot, and everything has worked fine. You need a code to install AVG, but it isn't tied to a particular computer.
