Preserve Fresh Install of Windows XP SP3 with updates onto DVD or USB

I just wiped my mom's laptop which had tons of malware (probably from all of the porn she looks at) and installed XP with Service Pack 3 and all 10,000 updates from Windowsupdate.com. It's perfect now, but I imagine she'll visit some stupid site at some point and infect the damn thing again.

I live in another state - so it's not so easy for me to perform maintenance on her computer. She doesn't store anything on her computer, so it's fine to just have her wipe the drive and do a fresh install.

My question is: How do I preserve this fresh installation so she (or my retarded brother) can easily reinstall it in the future. The contents of the hard drive should fit onto a DVD or USB drive.Many thanks for the help!

Norton Ghost?

Acronis True image home.

I would also suggest Secunia PSI to help keep the non windows things updated (Assuming you have windows updates running automatically)

Chrome browser (Updates automatically in the background including adobe flash)

LogmeIn Free to get in and run scans etc for her, as needed.

I actually used #4 in couple cases but you need to have 4GB ram
2 for OS and 2 for VM

1. use norton or acronics (free edition) for backup/restore http://support.wdc.com/product/do...p?swid=119
they have similar options for seagate and others ,,,
2. since she doesn;t have any data, you can use live cd to boot : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
3. really fast puppy linux : http://puppylinux.org/main/New%20...0Puppy.htm
4. install vm software, load vm, create snapshot and set to revert on shutdown;

I would just buy and external drive and clone the current one

you can also install a kiosk kit for XP so that it becomes like groundhog day deleting all changes they can save stuff to a thumb drive
