In my past experience, Norton and McAfee have not caught jack-crap in comparison to the viruses I've caught with Avast.
I tried both of those for many years (keep in mind this was many many years ago) but eventually found my computer to be much more sluggish, my bandwidth was being used a a really high rate when my computer was idle, etc. As soon as I was turned on to Avast an installed it, there were about 25 different viruses on my machine that neither Norton or McAfee could detect. The funny part was that some of them were worms that has infected 95% of the .exe files on my computer that had to all be deleted. Why couldn't they detect anything, ehh? (Granted Norton and McAfee found stuff on occasion but I find Avast to be much stronger)
