after ms blast i have a rpc error

[gerhard]

After deleting the msblast virus and the installation of the microsoft patch a can't run the on-acces protection control. The message is:avast!:the AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error.
What can I do??

Could you paste the list of the services running? The avast has 2 services:

1. Avast Standard Shield Support Service depends on RPC (Remote Procedure Call) and no other system depends of it...
2. Avast iavS4 Control Service depends on nothing and no other system depends of it.

You have to start the Avast! Antivirus service. In a XP computer, click the start button, Administrative Tools, then Services.

What is your computer configuration? (OS, RAM, Firewall, etc.)

The service was stopped. The microsoft patch did it. It's ok now. I have windows xp pro. Thanks!!

Great!
Does the service start automatically on boot?
You must have a line to C:\...\Avast\ashmaisv.exe in RUN commands of the Registry or a link on Startup folder (All users)...
