As soon as i updated to the latest version, the first thing avast did when I launched the app was creating a new shortcut. Just out of curiosity, I reinstalled it and it created a shortcut on installation, as usual, and a second one after it was launched through the first shortcut. Is this some bug with the latest version, or did something happen on my device in particular?
it is on our side, very sorry - some devices decided to not to add our icon after installation, so we ensure it by forcing the adding it; clearly it brings more evil than good, thank you for report.
