Or before doing that, try "add/remove programs"> "change" and repair it when prompted.

Just to be sure, have you another antivirus in this computer? Had in the past?

The only reason Tech asked about another AV is that is one of the most common causes of the RPC error.

It isn't advised to have two resident antivirus scanners installed on the same system.

Both? No, it's impossible without problems and conflicts.
Stay with avast, and let us know if you need further help on activating it.
