Thunderbird Not updating error

Previously I raised a question where I had a regular message from TB about failure to update and advising me to go to website to download 91.10.0 and then run it to install.

I though I had solved it but....

Thunderbird has automatically updated itself to 102.0.2 (64 bit) without my intervention - despite the release notes saying it is only offered as a direct download and not an upgrade. It has since updated itself to currently 102.0.3 However, TB reminds me every day with a message stating that it cannot do an update and wants me to visit the TB site and download. I am on the release update channel.

I assume some software switch is stuck and saying that there is an update when there isn't and posting the reminder. Is there some way of clearing this? I have cleaned the cache several times and clean installed the previous [91.10 version?] twice.

Thank You. I had not considered Avast was 'getting in the way'. Followed the link to add an Exclusion and by the time I had got back to Thunderbird it had updated itself. Excellent.
