In defense of Avast, most anti-virus software is NOT anti-spyware. It's decent on it's own but obviously works best in conjunction with good anti-spyware/malware software as you noted.
Aside from Kapersky, Nod 32 and Clam AV are great anti-virus programs as well. Might not get that whole free for life bit though.
Oh, there's also little point in getting Avast Pro. Get Home.
