If the machine is connected to the net during the install process it is very likely that it can get infected after first boot and before you get updates/AV installed. I have seen it happen.
That is why it should be disconnected from teh net till you at least get a basic AV on there.
It was. The wireless adapter wasn't even installed yet, since it's on a MacBook and I needed the driver disk. After I installed the drivers, I threw AVG on there from my thumb drive, and I know it didn't accidentally get online, since we have a WEP, and there aren't any open networks around here.
I've seen it happen too, haha. Cross your fingers that this will be a nice fresh install.
