The file AAWSERVICE.EXE belongs to AdAware and not to avast.

Perhaps this link on their forum can help you ...

If I were you, I'll replace AdAware with a more reliable scanner nowadays.
Use SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com), MBAM (http://malwarebytes.org/mbam.php) or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/) to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete them.
