Whilst avast does detect some adware it isn't a specialist anti-adware/spyware application.

If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it periodically.
1. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition (http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Ad-Aware/adaware.html)
2. Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download)
3. Spywareblaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) Don't install this until you are clean.
