Hello Snowlioncreations,

The RPC error is usually down to remenants of previous AVs, as you mention Norton, I would suggest using the norton removal tool:

2) Use Norton Removal Tool for Windows 2000/XP/Vista

After running the norton tool, a reinstallation of avast may be necessary:

*** It is probably a good idea to download the newest version of avast before starting this***
 

I suggest an installation from the scratch:
1.Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation. Maybe you should boot in Safe Mode.
4. Boot.
5. Install again the latest avast! version.
6. Boot.
7. Check and post the results.

(Thanks for these instructions Tech :))

Hope this helps,

-Scott-

Did you follow the instructions regarding the avast removal tool? (number 3 in the list)
Did you run it in safe mode?
