Here's a dose of reality for 'Adaware' users as more and more of us are ditching it.
A few years back, it was considered a good product but it hasn't kept pace with most of the other spyware scanners as malware has evolved ( trickier to detect and remove ).So frankly, it's just not that effective anymore.Better than nothing, BUT!.Here are some freebies that are better than Adaware.

As for the 'Kaspersky Online Scan', it is the king of detection and will give you a good idea as to whether your infected or not.
