After installing the system I let it perform a boot scan. It found what it thought was a virus in a zip file, and told me I could delete, repair, ignore. No key presses worked. I eventually had to boot to last known good.
Once up and running, I did the same scan. After deleting the two zip files avast! had a problem with, I tried to configure the package. However, when I try to click on the On-Access Protection Control I get the message:
avast!: The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error.
Anyone know what this is all about?
The program has been registered. I am using the Home edition. I have XP Profesional.
-
This error is caused by the service not running.
I fixed it by fully uninstalling the package and then reinstalling, this time NOT running a boot check.
After entering the registration key and waiting for everything to load, the RPC is running and active.
Doing a quick scan now!

The keyboard may not work during boot time scan if it is connected to USB. Is it your case ? But the scan should terminate itself in this case.
-
It is indeed a USB keyboard.
I waited one hour, it did not continue. :(
I've installed Avast! 4 Home on my PC and my wife's PC - and it seems to be running fine now :)
