You Are Unprotected
« on: February 02, 2018, 07:36:42 AM »
There's a red X on the task bar icon, and I see this message when I hover over it. I've done the complete uninstall (including safe mode), but no luck. Trying to open Avast, I get  a white field instead of the interface. If I select "update", I get the Avast interface, but on clicking update virus definitions or update program, it says "The RPC server is unavailable".  Clicking on "restore factory defaults", I get " Error during resetting to default settings. The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error".

In Windows services, RPC appears to be running with no errors. After rebooting the computer, Avast sometimes seems to work for awhile, then these symptoms reappear.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance...

Yes, repeatedly. And uninstall and reinstall repeatedly.  No change...
