Ad-Aware carrying trojans?

Zones: Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware Ad Blocker

I just got this virus alert from Avast:

27/05/2007      09:30:02            Engine version =      5.1.00
27/05/2007      09:30:02            DAT version =      5039
27/05/2007      09:30:02            Number of virus signatures in EXTRA.DAT =      None
27/05/2007      09:30:02            Names of viruses that EXTRA.DAT can detect =      None

What just happened? It looks to my untrained eye as if Ad-Aware is bringing trojans onto my laptop. Am I right?
