i cant connect to the net with that comp till tomorrow
if you are really running ubuntu, you don't need to worry about spyware/getting destroyed on the net, you will be fine...i have no antivirus or spyware scanner on archlinux, and have no need for one, there is just so few out there for *nix systems, you would have to intentionally look for something to get it.
And yes, get online, and your synaptic software manager should contain almost everything you need...though you will need to learn to compile your own software, there is no substitution for actually knowing how to build your own, then you can get any program out there to work with any distro.

it usually helps if you can install ubuntu while hardwired then put the wireless card in.

if you are connected via a cable from your computer to the router you should be online. ubuntu shouldnt have any problems with a normal wired network card.
forget compiling. you really dont need that on ubuntu. nowadays they have pretty much everything you can think of in the "catalog" or package manager. when youre starting to get really serious about getting your hands dirty with linux you can learn to compile. i really dont think you need to worry about it though.
listen to the old episodes of Linux Reality to give you some background. theyre a few years old but should still be relevant. i listened to that when i first started with linux. dont know where id be today if i never found it.. probably still on a mac..
try and start from the begining if you have time. http://www.linuxreality.com

not trying to be mean, but linux isn't for everyone.
