Under Ad-Aware’s Main Options, there are various settings related to basic operation, updates and an explanation of Gaming Mode (although this can be quickly toggled in the main interface and from the task bar). Under Protection Settings, you’ll be able to tweak the real-time protection and browsing options, although Safe Browsing can only be enabled and disabled, and not customized. The rest of Ad-Aware’s options are divided into two parts – the ones under Protection Settings (top right hand corner) and under Options. LavaSoft have beefed-up the power of the anti-virus engine by introducing the award winning BitDefender to version 11 of AdAware. Scans aren’t particularly quick, but can be paused if you find they are slowing-down your system too much. You can also schedule scans, a must-have option for a modern antivirus. The Custom option is particularly nice, allowing you to completely customize the scan with easy checkbox inclusions. There are 3 initial scan options, Quick, Full and Custom. Ad-Aware offers lots of scan options, making things very flexible for the user.
