Hello,
Please welcome the version 24.3 of Avast AV released on April 2nd, 2024

Major public announcement:

* other fixes and improvements.

It isn't so much being blocked by uBlock Origin but by the so called EasyList filter/add-on to uBlock Origin. 
You can opt to ignore it and proceed or add it to the 'Don't warn me again about this site or click the uBlock Origin add-on icon and disable for this site.

Why this would suddenly be the case is beyond me.
Not that I download the on-line installation file.
