I update it manually.

AdAware has had recent problems with "false-positives", detecting malware that is not really present on a computer.
I suspect they are just being extra careful, as not to repeat the mistake.

Have you tried a manual update? 4-5 days is hardly anything to worry about.

it's not unusual for them not to update everyday but if you know there is an update do it manually
