I would definitely suggest a multilayered approach (clickable names)Anti-virus - Avast Anti-Spyware - SuperAntispyware SpywareBlaster
Whilst avast does detect a number of adware and spyware infections, it isn't a specialist anti-spyware/adware program, so a specialist tool will improve overall detection rate and give a multi-layer/application approach to security as essexboy mentions.Some others:1. If using winXP AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido) Resident scanner during trial On-Demand after trial ends. Or Spyware Terminator Resident scanner.Care should be taken not to have two resident anti-spyware products installed at the same time, the free version of SAS provides on-demand protection so avg-as and or Spyware Terminator could be installed with it. 2. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition3. Spybot Search and DestroyAll of the above work with avast.
