If you want McAfee
1. Uninstall norton antivirus and make sure that your windows firewall is enabled.
2. Go to http://www.aol.com and sign up for an email account
3. Then login to http://safety.aol.com and download AOL antivirus. Its a free McAfee antivirus

Download and install AVG (antivirus Grisoft). It is the most popular download with the highest number of downloads from www.download.com (http://www.download.com) You can download it from that site. I have been using it since 2000. I also tried AVAST recently but somehow I did not like the interface and reverted back to AVG free.
