Enabling VT-x

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Is there a way to enable VT-x? I can’t find the option in avast. If I enable it will it be safe?

VT-x is not from avast but from Intel.
You need to enable it in the bios.

I already did that but not working

As stated there, it will not work on all systems.

Make sure you don’t have Intel Virtualization Technology and Hyper-V enabled as they do not work (well) together.
For other possible causes/solutions, I suggest you to Google.

  • VT-x not working
  • Toubleshooting VT-x
    etc.

Thanks for helping me. Because in previous avast version when enabling hardware-assisted virtualization some malware will be able to escape :slight_smile:
