Good evening,
My old XP only boots in safe mode now.
Is it possible to install Avast in this mode?
Thank you

      Thank you.
      I updated it and installed it in safe mode.
      When saving it says to me:
      "the subsystem detected the RPC error"
      ???
      I have installed Avast Free, which is supposed to be valid for a year
      but it says valid until 06/18/16
      But I can't connect it
      it tells me (in English) to check my internet connection
      and try again.
      Orange box. PC via Wi-Fi key.
      PC is well connected and has no problem accessing your
      site.
      Please, I don't know much about networks.
      Thank you.

      I made the mistake of downloading and installing
      ParetoLogic PC Health last night in an attempt to
      start and shut down (which is impossible!) my old PC in normal mode.
      It's advertised as free software, SCAM
      It scans, detects errors, then you have to sign up
      and pay with a credit card or PayPal to get it fixed!
      Refund within 1 month if not satisfied.
      I'm uninstalling!!!
      ...But I'm still at the same point!

      Hello
      Do you have any idea what could have caused this forced startup in safe mode?

      Thank you.
      I think there are too many active points on startup, but I'm not sure which ones can be disabled.
      - I took a screenshot with the list, but I
      can't manage to copy/paste it here!
      - It also can’t shut down by itself... I don’t know why... cutting the power has become the only solution... I chose safe mode!
      - It has already been well tinkered with!!!
      Have a good day.
      If you know an antivirus that would be effective in safe mode... I will give it a try!
      Thank you.

      Well, point by point.
      Try, if you have a phone, to take a picture of the list. Then upload it to a hosting site like Noelshack.
      As for the rest, I'm not really an expert...
      When you say "bricolé," what does that mean?

    Hello
    • RPC error: XP is not up to date.

    >The latest version of Avast was reviewed after a PC update, it won't work and will display this message as long as the PC is not up to date.
    • Avast does not work in safe mode on XP.

    If you can update XP and start in normal mode, you will be able to use it.

      If you can't use Avast, I recommend uninstalling it right away by downloading the Avast utility to your desktop and then launching it by clicking or double-clicking on it in safe mode, which is convenient for you.
      Apparently, nothing is happening, so restart the computer. There shouldn't be any traces of Avast left. Discard the utility.

        Thank you for the information.
        I still hope that with everyone's little stones I will manage to open... and close too!!! in normal mode.
