Na ruim een jaar niets meer aan de eigenlijke engine te hebben gedaan is Lavasoft nu uitgekomen met een nieuwe versie van Ad-aware. De naam van het programma is meteen ook maar veranderd en heeft de toevoeging SE meegekregen. Er zijn al een paar kleine probleempjes gevonden in het nieuwe programma, wat geleidt heeft tot een paar updates en inmiddels is versie 1.02 beschikbaar. Wat deze precies waren is niet helemaal duidelijk, aangezien een changelog niet beschikbaar is. We volstaan dus met het opnoemen van de vernieuwingen in Ad-aware SE in het algemeen:
