RPC error

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Today when I booted my Windows XP SP3 computer, the Avast! icon in the system tray had a red X. I checked the registration information and the software had expired. I tried to re-register and the following message was displayed:

AAVM subsystem detected RPC error

The program number is 7.0.1474. What should I do?

  1. Download avast! Free Antivirus: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed avast! versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall avast! with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

I uninstalled and re-installed Avast! and rebooted. The program icon is in the system tray. When I try to register the following message is displayed:

Retrieving information please wait.

After the message disappears nothing changes. How do I register?
