I've tried both AVG and ClamWin, and I still have the same problems with my computer as I did before. The problem is that after a few hours, my desktop will sometimes freeze up (if the screensaver is on, when I get back to my computer the only thing you can see is the desktop wallpaper). Maybe this isn't due to a virus, but I figured it might have been.
Also, does anyone have recommendations for anti-adware software aside from Ad-Aware?

Like you said - it isn't due to a virus. Some motherboards have major problems "waking up" after Windows goes into hibernation. The best way to fix this is to go into your Windows control panel and (from Classic view in XP/Vista) choose Power Options, and select your power theme as "Always On". This will cause your motherboard to not hibernate and therefore it will stop freezing on wake. If it still persists, go into Display and disable your screen saver and that should do it. (Just turn off your monitor when it's not in use if you want to save power.) Burn-in takes weeks to happen on newer monitors so there's no risk by disabling screensavers.
As for anti-virus and anti-spyware software, my personal recommendation is TrendMicro. It's both anti-virus and anti-spyware and uses much less resources than McAfee and Norton do.
