License Active, avast keeps saying unsecured.

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I recently noticed my avast! is unsecured and i’ve been trying to secure it with the Fix Now button and nothing happens. I figured my subscription was about to run out so I just renewed my license. I went to insert my new license into the program and I get this error message: “Unable to insert the license file. The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error.”

Although the license renew didn’t work, according to the error, my old license is still Active and valid until 2/21/13, this doesn’t explain why my system is unsecured though.

Edit: When I click FIX NOW a message appears that tells me I need to restart AVAST and when I click the Start Now button, a spinner appears for a few seconds and nothing happens.

I did what you said. Went to Add/Remove Programs, Repaired Avast! (it was strange that it took like 2 seconds), said it was repaired, restarted my system. Still the same as before. Nothing has changed.

It worked! Thank you so much! I’ll keep renewing my license for sure, i’m very satisfied with the support I get!
