Cannot Use Chest Client (null)

[lefty]

I used Avast for the first time last evening and moved one item found into the chest as recommended.  When I later tried to view the item in the chest I received the following error messages:

"Action was completed with errors"
"Cannot use chest client (null)"
"RPC server is unavailable"

I can view the item removed under ALERT or WARNING, I can't remember which and I'm not at the PC right now.  I ran Avast again and it did not find anything. 

Do I need to reinstall Avast or will this problem be corrected when another item is moved to the chest?

A second question:  Is it better to NOT scan the archived files?  It takes 1 1/2 hours to scan the pc.

Welcome to the forum! 

A friend also had this problem, but after he used the Avasts repair feature, everything is back to normal

Also, if you search for "RPC server is unavailable" in the forum you will get more threads about this problem.

Thanks for the response Bluesman.  I will try the repair when I can get to the PC.
