Repeated notices about updates, are they not completing?

Almost every time I start Thunderbird it says I have to restart to complete an update. It seems to be in an update "loop". It advises an update is available but it's 102.2.0 which is already installed! And this interference perhaps is causing the program lock up when I delete some read messages, so the only way out is a shutdown via Task Manager.

I was reading in a bug report about avast being the cause of this in every case some folk had examined. You as well perhaps?

Thanks, Matt, but I have never used Avast. On opening Thunderbird some mornings there's a notice that I have to restart to complete an update. But the HELP area shows it's up to date! If I do restart all is well for a day or so then it repeats.
