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
2. Spybot Search and Destroy
3. Spywareblaster Don't install this until you are clean.
