I need a excellent spyware/adware cleaner, but I use Avast, so it has to work well with that. I’ver heard Adaware and Spybot are excellent, but are they the best?

I like Superantispyware over Adaware and Spybot S&D.

Also, you may want to look at installing a spyware blocking program at the front end. SpywareBlaster is free and inoculates. It’s not a spyware removal tool.

Open Spybot, click on Mode, select Advanced, click on Tools then Resident and untick Resident ‘Tea Timer’
Do NOT untick Resident ‘SD Helper’ as that is your protection.
AdAware 2008 is ok but slow and heavier on resources. I find the above selection works as a excellent amalgamation with Avast and I import viruses and malware on a second machine to check removal programs, so this stuff has to be able to do what it claims. It works for me.
AdAware and Spybot are pretty excellent for free spyware removers. The problem is you get what you pay for, the programs have proven they cannot detect the latest most perilous threats. I use Avast along with the #1 choice from the following website:
