Scanning Engine
Unload recognized processes & modules during scan: This allows Ad-Aware SE to close any currently running process or module that is recognized by Ad-Aware SE's definitions. If this setting is disabled, the recognized process or module will continue to run during the remainder of the scan. Deactivation of this option does not imply that Ad-Aware SE will not be able to remove the executable if selected for removal by the user, just that removal will happen more efficiently if the process has already been stopped
Obtain command line of scanned processes: Ad-Aware SE can determine what command line instructions (including any command line parameters) that were used to start a process. If enabled, this option lists this information in the scan log. If disabled, Ad-Aware SE lists the location of the process executable only
Run scan as background process (Low CPU usage): Forces Ad-Aware SE to run in the background with a lower priority level. This allows for other programs running concurrently with Ad-Aware SE to obtain more processor time
Ignore spanned files when scanning cab archives: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Scan registry for all users instead of current user only: Enabling this option will allow Ad-Aware SE to scan the registry sections for the all users', user-specific registry information on the system. If this option is disabled, Ad-Aware SE will scan the currently logged on user's user-specific registry information. In other words, this option will allow you to scan multiple user accounts on a single system rather than having to scan within each user profile separately
Use permanent archive caching: Ad-Aware SE builds a checksum for each archive after scanning it as long as it does not contain any detected objects. During the next scan, it will compare the archive's current checksum against the stored checksum, and only decompress to scan within it again if it has been changed. The checksum changes if the file's contents change in some way. Stored checksums are erased after updating the definitions file to ensure they are scanned against the new definitions.
Cleaning Engine
Automatically check all objects in results lists: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Always try to unload modules before deletion: Ad-Aware SE will try to unload running process modules that match Ad-Aware SE's definitions
Prior to deletion, unloading Explorer and IE if necessary: Windows Explorer, and if necessary Internet Explorer can be unloaded during the removal process. In many cases, items that would normally require a system restart to remove can be removed by Ad-Aware SE without a restart
Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot: If a file cannot be removed without a restart, enabling this option will cause Ad-Aware SE to request that the files be removed during the next system restart. If approved, Ad-Aware SE will instruct Windows to remove these files during the restart, and then perform a reboot scan to ensure their removal
Delete quarantined objects after restoring: After the objects in a quarantine file are restored, the quarantine file is deleted. If disabled, the quarantine file will remain on the system even after restoring its contents
Suppress warning if objects cannot be removed: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Suppress progress bar during list operations: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Disable manual quarantine if auto-quarantine is selected: If the auto-quarantine option is enabled, this option will disable the ability to manually create a quarantine archive
Cleaning Engine

Reanalyze result after scanning before displaying result list: After the scan completes, Ad-Aware SE will reanalyze its findings before presenting them
Write-protect system files after repair (Hosts file, etc.): Ad-Aware SE will write-protect certain system files after repairing them, such as the Hosts file

Include module list in logfile: Includes the loaded modules for each process in the log file
Include Alternate Data Stream details in logfile: Includes information on any alternate data streams detected during the scan in the log file
User Interface
Show splash screen: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Remember window positions: Ad-Aware SE will remember where it was the last time it was opened
Snap windows to desktop borders: Forces the Ad-Aware SE interface to remain on the desk top. This will prevent the interface from disappearing off the edge if moved too far to the left, right, top, or bottom of the visible work area
Limit drive selection to fixed drives: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Use gridlines in results lists: Gridlines will appear in the item lists
Show detail tooltips in results lists: Ad-Aware SE will display detailed information when you move your mouse over items in the Ignore, quarantine, and results screens
WebUpdate Settings
Suppress WebUpdate confirmation dialogs: This option is disabled in Ad-Aware SE Personal edition
Backup current definition file before updating: Ad-Aware SE will make a backup of the currently loaded definitions file prior to downloading and installing an update
Create and save WebUpdate log file: Ad-Aware SE logs and saves WebUpdate information in a separate log file. This is useful for trouble shooting update problems
Misc Settings
Dump details about unhandled exceptions to disk: If an exception occurs that cannot be handled, Ad-Aware SE will append to (or create) a special log file for later trouble shooting and/or product support
Play sound at scan completion if scan locates critical objects: Ad-Aware SE plays a sound at the end of a scan if any critical objects were detected
Button
