Congratulations on getting rid of NAV. Terrible program, although I hear their latest offering is better than before.
Here's some quick links...
SpywareBlaster (for immunizing a computer against several known threats, like bad ActiveX controls in IE, for example)
MalwareBytes (for cleanup, or as a manually-run 2nd opinion to Avast)
GMER (which specializes in finding rootkits, including the very elusive TDL3 rootkits. I had a computer with a TDL3 rootkit that infected a low-level system driver (atapi.sys) that eluded everything else I tried. GMER cleaned it up.)
ComboFix (When all else fails. Read their cautions about only using with the help of a professional, although I've used it by myself successfully. In my case the next step was reformat so I had nothing to lose...)
