I've just switched from Mcafee to Norton(half price in shops and gets better reviews). Apparently if you uninstall Mcafee it can leave a lot of attachments or something on your computer. A friend of mine who is quite good at these things told me to get revo-uninstaller free on the internet and use this to uninstall Mcafee and anything else as it finds all the bits the normal uninstall misses. I used it and I can't find any traces of Mcafee.
Perhaps you need to look a little closer?

Does Norton really have to flag anything that might be a threat to their profits?

If you read the article, it tells you about how norton flags almost any threat to it's existence, and never ever, does a clean un-install.
