In the "Administrations -> Updates " section, a warning appears as follows.
Avast is running now. I checked.
Is there anything to be done about this issue?

Ign:5 http://deb.avast.com/lin/repo debian-buster InRelease
Hit:6 http://deb.avast.com/lin/repo debian-buster Release

W: http://deb.avast.com/lin/repo/dists/debian-buster/Release.gpg: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.
TASK OK
 
Seems you've installed avast a while ago - as the gpg-key for the avast repo is imported in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg, instead of put as separate file in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d (as the warning says).

For not this is not a problem (read the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8)) - but it might be worth it to clean this up at some point (description is in the man-page).

The current avast on pmg wiki-page has the updated instructions:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Install_Avast

also your sources.list.d entry for avast still mentions buster - depending on your PMG version this is probably outdated (PMG 7 is bullseye, PMG 8 is bookworm, but avast has not released a version for bookworm yet).

I hope this helps!
