Networking is easy as pie, go into PCLOS control center and push buttons. Wifi support is the bane of Linunx, its getting much better but you either have supported hardware or you don't......but I'm not a Wifi expert....

"AV/spyware" what the heck is that ??? re-training is needed, you don't need those things in Linux. There's plenty of free Linux AV's incase you feel the need to protect Windows on the network, I let the Windows AV do that.
