I have been fighting virii for 15 years, longer than either Norton or McAfee have been. Back then, they were mostly passed by sneakernet. Over the years, I have found multiple instances when fully updated versions of both Norton and McAfee either could not find or could not remove a virus. I have not found one time that F-Prot, now F-Secure could not find and remove all virii. They were the first anti-virus company in the world, and IMHO still the best. On the technical side, one of their engines (they have 3) operates at the very lowest level of I/O, immediately scanning a file as it comes off the disk, before it enters memory or interacts with OS. This makes it very fast and very efficient.
