Norton Ghost is a program that backs up your entire computer system, allowing you to restore your computer to an earlier state. This means that if your computer crashes or a virus is placed onto the computer you can easily get it back to a fully working state. Norton does this by creating a ghost file of the system. This file can be converted into an ISO file, which can then be either burnt to a disc or mounted as a virtual drive.
