All my Folders are read only

Hi, Iam hoping there is help out there. All my folders are read only when I have my licence version active. If I have just the free version th folders are read write. It is the avast licence version that has the read only and I don’t know how to change this. I have to remove it from my computer to get read/write.

could this be related to avast ransomware shield?
