[bcab] different accounts for general and administration - update?

Hi,
I am thinking of trying to set up my XP laptop with a couple of accounts. The idea being to use a nonprivileged account generally, particularly when on the Internet, and a privileged one only where necessary. My concern though is with application and antivirus updates from the Internet. Is it possible with such updates, (for example of the antivirus database or engin), to download the update with a nonprivileged account, then come off the Internet and apply the update with privileges, (if necessary).
I hope this makes sense - I am not used to this kind of thing on laptops yet. 

Regards,
Steve.
