So which is correct ?

Have you checked the source of those drivers to find out what the current drivers are and if they are regular release versions of the driver/s.

I don't know where these drivers are sourced, but my guess would be that Avast Driver updater only go to the originating driver source.

I can't answer that I don't use Adobe Suite and I don't know where it sources its information from.  That I guess would depend on what video drivers it is talking about those of a graphics card or that of your CPU if that also has a video element embedded in the chip, Intel HD Graphics 620.  I also have an nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card.

I have never sought to update these drivers, if they were even available.
