Thanks for the help everyone. I have NOD32 running and it seems to be
working great.

I am glad to hear things are working out.

I did have a glitch with my wireless connection, but it only took me 10
minutes to figure out. Unlike XP, Vista wanted a specific WEP key;

Windows Vista supports WPA and WPA2, which are improved wireless encryption methods. I strongly recommend you use one of these instead of the antique WEP, preferably WPA2 if your router/modem supports it.

Even amateurs can break a WEP key in a matter of minutes with software downloaded from the Internet, and thereby make you the neighbourhood free bandwidth supplier.

However I did notice this morning that Windows Update had
an updated driver for my wireless card; the pre-installed driver was
6/2007 and the new driver came out in 2/2008 so I updated it. not sure
if that would have made a difference with the WEP thing though, but who
knows.

In general, driver updates are better downloaded form the manufacturer's support site than from Windows Update. The manufacturers have the most recent versions.

This site is awesome.

I agree, but it is not a site really. It is a newsgroup hosted on NNTP servers. It is even more awesome to use a newsgroup client rather than the clunky web interface at Microsoft.com.
