You may not have a complete install of ubuntu on your CD. The demo is an optional file, so it might not be on your CD, so it will not run. If you want to install ubuntu, simply skip the demo and go straight to the install.
Also, hopefully you realize the Linux can get viruses, spyware, etc. It just gets different ones that Windows. Installing Linux will NOT protect you from being infected, hacked, etc. Most of the servers on the Internet is Linux, and look at how often websites and servers are hacked there everyday.
