    Enough is relative.

    Does this system have users that you do not 100% trust/supervise?
    Does this system ever have critical/personal data entered into it?
    Do you or any users of this machine engage into dangerous usage?
    If the hard drive were to fail would you lose critical data?
    If the hard drive were to fail how critical is it that you can be back up ASAP?

    Imaging has been suggested. Add that and you're good to go. The one in Win 7 is fine.

    Those two would be fine. They would also be enough. Avoid the add everything including the kitchen sink syndrome.

    Enough :D
    You got layered setup: AV + HIPS + FW.

    Now just to make sure if you want you can add a few On Demand scanners as others said. :argh: And be carefull while installing apps/software

    May want to add internet safety checker (Norton DNS, BitDefender TrafficLight, and/or WOT), and software update monitor (SUMo or Secunia). Drive imaging is preferred, unless you like re-installing Windows.

    I use Clonezilla so while you are reformatting and reinstalling Windows I am already back up and running just like I was in around 10 minutes. :D

    I used to do image which took like 15-20 mins at most but often the images got old software after a while :D
    So i just prefer doing a full format.
    Or sometimes doing images required the program to be installed which i don't like, i really want it to be fresh!! :argh:
