AdAware paid version

Has anyone bought it yet? I have been pondering the Professional version upgrade from the freebie one I have now. Will this aid me in any consulting work?

Ahh, yes. I am not sure if it runs via wine or not.

Sorry, thought that most would just know that part ;D

I found that there are some spyware that AdAware or Spybot will have a hard time removing. I found Bart's Boot PE, which boots to a Windows-like environment from the cd. Since nothing is running from the hard drive, it makes it easier to remove spyware. And it has a ton of plugins, a couple of them which embed AdAware on it.
