Is this Avast Update Malware in Disguise?

I recently asked for help to remove suspicious files on my computer which seemed to work. But I’ve recently gotten this Avast Update thing, which frankly does not look like Avast to me. Sorry if it is, but I thought it would be safer to see. From the other images I’ve seen, this isn’t what it’s suppose to resemble and I can’t close the tab. But I also can’t check my current Avast to run a scan.

It looks legit.

Are you sure?

I’ve never attempted to upgrade Avast either, which what I’m confused about. What upgrade would it be talking about and why do I have no choice but to do it? (If this is legit, then sorry, these questions belong on a different part of the forum.)

Alright, thank you. I apologize :-, should have looked at that area first. Guess I’ve just been paranoid lately.

You’re welcome.
