That sounds a bit fishy.

Can you provide a screenshot of these ads?

Avast doesn't always detect when you've picked up adware from somewhere. I have avast as well, and it didn't alert me when adware piggybacked on another software onto my computer.

Malwarebytes is better at picking up the sneakier adwares and trojan horses than Avast is. I'm also an exception to the rule, myself, because I've memorized the various programs on my computer, and if anything looks fishy, I investigate it immediately. A lot of what the various programs do is throw advertisement windows on your other programs and particularly your web browser, along with changing the settings, home page, and new tab page.

Don't forget that Internet Explorer is used for part of the LoL client. If you haven't specifically scanned IE, do so.
