If you want some test data on AV products, try the chart here.
The drop-down options at the top, will give you the different charts.

What tests like that don't tell you, is how annoying the
product is, and how much it slows down every-day operation
of the computer. Some of the products are hard to remove later
as well, when you're sick of them. Even using the special "remover"
download, might not completely remove them.
See the Product Review section here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McAfee_Inc.
"Computer Shopper Magazine gave "McAfee Total Protection" a score
of 2.5 of 5 stars. They concluded "McAfee Total Protection 2012
has plenty of security tools and protects against malware well
enough, but once an infection takes place, it’s not good at
removing it."
That article should give you enough material to start your
research.
Note that McAfee is now owned by Intel, and Intel bought them
for an insane amount of money (~ $8 billion). Exactly why
Intel did that, who knows. They should have bought "Angry
Birds" instead
