If you have the right version of Avast with the Anti virus, and run Adaware weekly, then ye you should be cool.
This is exactly what I run mate and have had no probs so far.
I have tried various anti viruses, from norton to Mcaffee and bitdefender, and none have been as good as Avast.
I also run Nod32 which is excellent and never tampers or bothers any other anti virus which a lot of others progs do.
Please be aware though that adaware (personnal, not proffesional) is only a virus scanner and doesn't defend you from viruses. It just finds "most" of theones you "may" have come across.

Adaware is the best I have encountered out there. It is more accurate than Windows Defender, and the Yahoo (toolbar) facility both put together.
If you keep Adaware updated, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
However, it is not an ANTI-VIRUS program. You should use it in conjunction with something like Norton Antivirus, or any other dependable antivirus program.

The more anti-spyware programs you run, the better. This is because no one program will detect all malware.
I would also recommend Spybot search and destroy, another respected (free) product.
Be wary of downloading security software that you have never heard of, it may contain malware in itself.

Ad Aware SE Personal is very good.... it gets the virus... right off the computer, and tracks it fast.... i think the AD AWARE is better, I have it and its the best!!

I think ad-aware is excellent but since having webroot spysweeper it hardly ever finds anything and that goes for spybot as well.

It's a good program. I use it with AVG and THIS:
