The entire adware/spyware thing is fairly outdated now anyways. I've stopped using them since the early 2000s because you dont come across them anymore. Not saying you wont find them but the ones you do, a good antivirus will catch it also. I remember a time when I ran a antivirus/antispyware/anti adware... AVG/lavasoft/spybot and they never came up across anything that I didn't already suspect had it. The most they ever found was a few worms so old that I doubt they would even work in modern OS.

For on demand scanners, I use cloud ones like hitman and panda. Why? Because it it can get past Avira then it can already pass the definitions. Cloud scanners work a little better for this because of the wide resources they pool together. Now if you can't get internet connection then sure use one of the ones from the top list but otherwise I'd just pick 1 antivirus and stick with it. They all share info now that within hours of 1 having a definition the rest will too.
