AOS not showing up for some users
« on: August 17, 2018, 06:53:10 PM »
My Windows 10 machine has multiple user accounts. The admin acct has the AOS icon showing up in the menu bars of browsers (Firefox, Chrome). The user acct I usually use for myself does *not* have the AOS icon showing in the browsers. Avast UI Settings shows Web Shield on, and customization settings are the same as for the admin acct.

How can I get extension turned on?

If one account has AOS working properly, wouldn't the files already be on the computer? I looked through the C:\Program Files\Avast directories, but nothing stood out as constituting the AOS extension. If I could locate the files on the computer, would I then be able to activate AOS for the browsers missing it?
