VirtualBox Guest OS's and Avast Free / Avast One Free on Host OS - Virtualizatio

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

The anti-rootkit and anti-exploit options will enable the Host OS’s virtualization flag. The HW Virtualization option, will not disable these 2 features from using it. This will result in hardware assist virtualization using VirtualBox ( regardless of Guest OS Type ) from working. Avast, please investigate. :o

Please see my post here for more information.
