You will need to pay for Ad-Aware if you use it in a University environment.  Because of the steep licensing costs we 
encourage users to run  Spybot Search & Destroy (which is free!).

  Run Ad-Aware 6.0 on your workstations. You will need the paid version in
  order to keep the protection ongoing.
