Do you think VirusBulletin 100% and ICSA would test an adware/spyware "enhanced" antivirus? AV-Comparatives maybe? Nah.
avast! is certanly 150% safe to use and doesn't include any kind of crap.

Bladeforce, you can use avast and trust it. You can (must) use another antispyware or antitrojan. The best (free) around seems to be a-squared, ewido and spyware terminator.
To block 'adds', you should use a good firewall or set the proper options in a good browser. Maxthon browser could block some of them. Kerio (paid version) blocks adds too.  8)
