Ad Aware update fails every time

I am having problems with Ad Aware update which fails every time. It is stuck in infinite loop. First it tells me that updated version of update manager is available and that I should download it and install it. I confirm this action and then message shows telling me that this update is downloading. Next message say that definitions are updating. When this update finishes I get another notification that updated version of update manager is available. Technically, I am unable to update Ad Aware. Do you have any solution?

This is a problem with Ad Aware. From some unknown reason (bug?) when update manager downloads its updated version it saves this file like LSUpdateManager.exe.new. As you can imagine, Windows can not run this file automatically, so update manager can not get updated. After downloading definitions Ad Aware checks for other updates and finds out that update manager is still old. Find this file and delete .new extension and run it manually. This will solve your problem.
