In general, shouldn't routers straight out of the box already be configured to 100% protect my computer? I ask because I've uninstalled my previous software firewall and switched to a D-link hardware one, and I just want to make sure if I keep up my practices at avoiding viruses/trojans/spyware I'll still be safe (IE, there won't be any trojans or spyware sneaking in and installing itself under my nose). I've never had anything mallicious get past when I had the software firewall.

If your really paranoid run the software firewall with the router firewall. You can also go here https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and do a security test of your setup.
