Yeah, its really easy to set up Airport express. In fact, its easier than in windows  . I can't say it'll be all that much fun, or be that tweakable, but its still easier.

Haha there is something seriously wrong with a computer that is THAT screwed up.
Here, try reformatting the drive (If you live anywhere near me I'll do it for you after exams, I need stuff to do anyways). Then just re-install windows.
But if you can't be bothered doing all that:
Go to start-->all programs-->Accesories-->System Tools-->Disk Defragmenter
Run that, and leave it until its done. Chances are you'll see a noticeable increase in speed.
Un-install all the norton stuff, and get this, and see if it picks anything up:
AVG Antivirus
This is a frequently updated anti-virus suite that is completely free! I use it, and have never had problems .
I always maintain that a format every 6 months is very healthy.
