Aavm Subsystem.rpc Error.

[penelope2]

I'm trying to insert a License File for Avast! When I attempt this it shows:-
"Unable to insert License File, The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error"

Can any knowledgeable person explain what this means (in laymans terms please) and how I should proceed.

Am running Windows 7. Thank you.

If this is a legitimate (purchased) copy of Avast and a legitimate license file you should contact the company and ask them to help rectify the problem.

Thank you daffy654, yes it it a legitimate copy and license running from August 2012 - August 2013. Interestingly it has worked OK since August up 'till now, this problem has only arisen today.

Have you recently updated your PC via Windows Update? This can sometimes cause existing programs to cease working properly.

daffy654: thank you for your responses, went to Avast Support Centre FAQ's and found the appropriate answer. Followed their instructions (somewhat laboriously as I'm a technophobe) and seems that it's now fixed. Fingers crossed. Again, thank you for your help.
