Can't create x64 bit VM in virtual box

system · 2016-12-01T22:38:56.000Z

Hello,

I am running Avast Free 12.3.2280 (Latest version) and would like to know how I can disable Avast’s virtualization. In previous versions I could do so by going to Troubleshooting in the settings, and then un selecting the option that enabled virtualization, or something like that.

How can I do this in the latest version?

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 as my OS.

The issue was fixed after I rebooted my system, however, I wish Avast would not use virtualization at all (Now that it has Cyber Capture), or at least not hide the option in the troubleshooting settings.

Hi Sutieday

Yeah, this is still not fixed. See this post from Petr :

I see it was removed unintentionally :-[ – as a workaround, you can disable ‘self protection’ (in troubleshooting), run regedit.exe and set Start=4 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\services\aswvmm.

Hi Red, it’s fixed in the latest beta. Cheers.

Thnx, I wasn’t aware of that.
