Having used Avast for a few years I accessed the internet usually through a shortcut. But this week and got this message.

-can’t open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine-

Why would I get this now? and what can I do about it. I do not run my machine in administrator mode, and have not done for years.
