Avast won't allow any programs to be open and any remote control.

Can only open in Safe mode.  remove AVAST and the machine works fine.  Install AVAST again and after 2 - 3 reboots, machine won't allow any programs or remote control.
Win 7 machine and AVAST Endpoint Protection Plus small office (desktop only) Have several PCs with AVAST installed but only one PC has this issue

On the troubled manchine:
- Uninstall avast using avastclear
- Do a fresh installation of avast
- Reboot 3 times
- Check if everything is working

if not:
- Compare settings with a working system. (firewall, av, network settings/permissions, user settings/permissions)
