I'm glad it's working out.
Windows backup does a pretty good job and has the advantage of being there on any Windows machine (on XP home it's on the CD). I would suggest doing at least a weekly backup of your critical documents and putting it on a CD/DVD.
I've not been impressed with any Symantec products over the last few years (they are "Norton"). While it does a fair job of catching viruses, it is overbloated and consumes far too many system resources for my taste. There are products out there that do a better job and are much leaner. I have some information at the link below (check the PC Security and Spyware links).
