Same here, now have 24.2.6104 (build 24.2.8904.819), UI version 1.0.797. (Win10).
Why was version 24.1 indicated as "no longer protected". I went along with the update assuming it was an emergency update, not a version update. Version 24.2 is not even listed as released here on the forum yet.
This has me thinking that Avast have made a blunder releasing 24.2 unannounced. I will have to re-check my Update settings.
EDIT: I still have program updates set as "Manual". I do not expect any indication to do an update.
I normally update a few days after a new version announcement here on the forum, not Before a new version announcement here.
