I have previous cases of “manual” updates installing without consent. I have missed those previous threads:

"The explanation was there was a conflict with Windows Updates and earlier versions of Avast, so those users were automatically updated.

Several threads on this topic, and a mea culpa from Avast that users should have received advanced warning."

Does anyone know about those threads, and a URL?

Sincerely,
