So the solution is not to use anti-adware and anti-spyware programs? That doesn't seem like the solution.

Many 3rd-party firewalls have been known to cause crashes in Windows 7 and Vista. Updates to these programs have fixed much of it, but Ad-aware may be one that has not been fixed.
I suggest you use
Microsoft Security Essentials .

No crashes yet but very slow with Microsoft Security Essentials. Very slow to start up also.

Try disabling MSE from starting up, in the Startup tab of msconfig ("msconfig" in the start menu).
