Norton is bloatware if you ask me. It's decent with virus detection, but it sure hogs your system while doing it. :p Trend Micro is nice though IMO, and I do recommend it.

Ghost is also recommended. I would recommend Powerquest's Disk Image product as an easier alternative, but apparently Symantec has gone and bought them. Bastards. :p Anyway, if your version of Ghost includes Ghost Explorer, you can retrieve individual files. Quite handy. Also you should be able to make a bootable CD with Ghost on it that will completely restore from a DOS prompt. No need to bother installing Windows.
