Avast was working the night before.. then Quits on Next boot
« on: April 16, 2007, 09:55:44 PM »
Hi Guys,

Before you ask me... Yes I searched the forum for AAVM HAS ENCOUNTERED AN RPC ERROR

and I have tried everything on there......

I did the REPAIR

I took it off and re installed

I checked my services.msc

this is what it is doing..... the night before AVAST was working before I had just shut down the computer then all of a sudden... Next morning I get up turn the computer on and I see a O with a \ through it over the avast Icon... I click on it and it says THE AVAM HAS ENCOUNTERED A RPC ERROR.

after you click the OK.... the O with the \ goes away and it acts like its ok

But its annoying to have to click on that and do that everyday.... I would like to get it fixed

So I hopped on here and I did search the forums but NONE of that has worked for me.... Right now I am forced to use the stupid aol Security software stuff till I can figure out how to get this resolved

I am using XP HOME

FULLY UPDATED

Hp Pavillion xt963

256 mb ram

Cable Internet

So, is the avast antivirus service running?
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services.

Thanks

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

Start Type (e.g. Automatic) is one thing, and the current status is another.
So, the current status is "Started", correct?

If so, can you please try to restart the service?

Thanks

Hey VLC,

I tried that..... I put them all on MANUAL, then  STOPped them.....

 then put them back on AUTOMATIC then clicked START SERIVCE
then hit apply and closed out and rebooted

it was STILL doing it

I might try to re installing it

this didnt start happening untill the last windows update :-!
