What do you do if the spyware is making it impossible to
get to the internet to download the software. Is it
possible to download it on another machine and load on to
the affected machine.
 
Yes, download it on another machine and burn the Microsoft AntiSpyware
executable to a CD, I would recommend zipping the Microsoft AntiSpyware
executable first or it won't burn properly, then copy the file to your
infected to machine, to location such as the desktop then double click it to
launch installation and install it. But the problem remains that the
definitions are not updated for Microsoft AntiSpyware.

Anyway, restart in safe mode and run a full system scan with Microsoft
AntiSpyware, on the scan page, choose full system scan (check the boxes
below) > click run scan now.

Hi

You can download (and save it, not run it) MSAS setup file to another
PC and burn MSAS on a CD
and install MSAS on the affected machine, or use another transfer media
as
a USB memory stick or if this PCs are connected within a network you
can also
move MSAS setupfile for installation.
