Recommend me anti virus/backup software please

Guys,
I'm after an anti-virus software that will scan the computer before it boots into Windows. I currently use Microsoft Security Essentials which is great but it doesnt do the pre boot scan. I had a quick look at Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ubcd4win.com/ but wanted to know if anyone is able to recommend it.

I am also after some imaging software and I know you are all going to point me to Acronis but I feel there is probably an alternative out there.
I am aware W7 has its own built in backup software but I need to make a backup of an XP installation.

cheers
Jase

Thanks for all the replies guys, absolutely brill as always.

I do like the look of Macrium Reflect and the Hirens boot cd, will be defo giving them a try out. :)

Its a shame MSE doesnt have a pre-boot scan option as I really like the simplicity of the software.
