Ad-aware, Ad-watch, McAfee and Norton

Since the programs Ad-aware and Ad-watch are supposed to protect your computer against spyware programs, why anti-virus programs like McAfee and Norton detect some of their files as a threat ?

What are the best anti-spyware and anti-virus programs ?

Oooops !   I would like to apologise to you all nice people.

I just found out that it was my mistake. I confused the word adware which is a program that spams advertising with ad-aware, a program that detects and erases it. Actually McAffe detected adware files not ad-aware files.
