'Nvidia nForce Networking Controller' Pop Up

Avast Free Version: 20.2 24.01

I just updated Avast Free version and a few mins after that, a pop up was displayed stating '‘Nvidia nForce Networking Controller.’

Do I need to ‘do anything’ (changing settings, etc) or is this a component of the new version that is activated by default?

b) In ‘very’ simple terms, what is this controller and what purpose does it serve?
