Norton, McAffee or something else?

Load it all. Seriously. Load every security app you can find. Find and load a few cleaner apps too, and certainly also load some add-on VPN apps.

Your Mac will run horribly of course, some of your metadata may well be uploaded and re-sold, and instability and performance and performance issues are all too common.

You will have achieved little or no appreciable benefit from this app add-on effort of course, but you will have properly funded an industry too filled with too much sleaze, installing apps that often badly solve a problem you don’t have, and making your data far more accessible and marketable to sketchy providers.

Just think how good you’ll feel, having contributed your money and metadata to such a mess!

Slightly more seriously, don’t. macOS runs file with the built-in anti-malware, built-in scanning, built-in malware removal, and the signed and sealed system volume. Concentrate instead on your backups, and on not getting phished fooled. our Macs typically don’t get malware—not unless we load some cracked apps from a torrent somewhere, or load “free coupons” apps or other hot garbage—but we definitely get targeted for scams and phishing and “your iPhone has (3) viruses!!!” rubbish. And we get lots of junk app ads, too.

One of the better-known anti-malware apps for macOS was caught and later dinded for selling personally-idntified web browsing history and web purchasing history, for instance.

Various so-called “no-logging” VPNs—VPNs which badly solve a problem that hasn’t existed for a decade or so, but badly solve it in a way perfect for personally-identified metadata collection—were caught logging too, when the “non-existent” logs were found exposed on the ‘net.

Outside of environments requiring end-point security or related tooling, or environments with VPNs for connecting into an internal network of an affiliated organization, the sorts of add-on security apps around too often aren’t good or useful or effective trade-offs.

Some reading:

• Apple Platform Security - Apple Support
• Effective defenses against malware and ot… - Apple Community
• Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

I wouldn't let either of those or similar products anywhere near my Mac.

What I use:

macOS - Security - Apple

and

Set up your Mac to be secure - Apple Support

and

Protect your Mac from malware - Apple Support

and

What is malware on Mac? - Apple Support

Nothing. Your Mac is already protected and the OS is sealed on a read only partition of your HD preventing any alteration. Any third party add on will only conflict with the security provided and will cause more problems on your computer. To see all the problems those programs have caused, simply click the search button on the top of this page and enter the name of any of those programs.

Precisely what FoxFifth said as Apple never allowed Microsoft to design or implement macOS…
