Using manual d/load from lavasoft site tried multiple times same result 20.1
file rather than 24.1 file
Could be a proxy issue but I've been using this method for some time with no
problems
 
reply vanished so I'll try again :-)

downloading defs file from lavasoft direct, having done so for some time
with no probs, could possible be a caching issue on the servers???

You are correct, the manual download does not yield the current defs, odd...
I doubt if it's a proxy issue though you do not state what sort of proxy you run.
Keep on trying the update engine via Ad-aware.

Best I can help you with for now.

Caching on the Lavasoft servers "could" be an issue, though I successfully updated
three machines today without any problems.
Keep trying, good luck!
