Should I ditch McAfee?

I've had a few issues with malware etc lately, which for some reason my McAfee protection missed.
I currently get the paid version of McAfee free with my o2 broadband, but I'm wondering would I be better off just switching to some of the free protection software out there.
Someone suggested that these might be a better choice:
Download PC TOOLS FIREWALL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')

Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Top right)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/
What do others think?
Thanks
