I agree with everything DocStone has said.
If you're interested in stats on what's doing a better job that others, try AV Comparatives. They are an independent tester, have free reports and do different tests each month on 15 different anti-virus software (including Avast, AVG and NOD32 along with Norton and McAfee).
As the site says:
If you plan to buy an Anti-Virus, please visit the vendor's site and evaluate their software by downloading a trial version, as there are also many other features (e.g. firewall, scriptblocker, etc.) and important things (e.g. compatibility, graphical user interface, speed, language, price, update frequence, etc.) for an Anti-Virus that you should evaluate by yourself. Even if quite important, the detection rate is just one aspect that you should consider when buying Anti-Virus software.
Which is what myself and DocStone said already. It's a good site but the reports can be a little long - the summary tables are very useful however.
