Thank you for improving avast accessibility. I tried to install avast on a virtual machine with the NVDA screenreader, and I could get by pressing the tab key to the install button, and I could also check the button for the installation of chrome browser. Later, I didn't disable the self-defence mode, to check, if the screenreader could have access to the interface of avast free antivirus, and read the elements of it, for example the status button, or smart scan button. And it works.

I've done a restart and haven't seen the UI start on it's own since.

Just got this after reboot so the Flash Screen I received this morning informing that the Software had been updated obviously didn't affect the bug. :-\

This is also happening on the 20.5 version. Keeps popping up every so often. Last it happened less than 5 min of writing this.
