Bd Total Security 2016 Compatibility Issue With Virtual Box

Hi,

When I installed BD Total Security 2016 for the first time (2 months ago) I had a compatibility problem with Virtual Box. When I tried to start a virtual machine, an error showed up saying that VT-x was being used by another hypervisor.

Finally I found out that reinstalling Virtual Box as "Administrator" resolved that issue.

Today, 01/07/2016 after updating BD Total Security 2016, I had a similar error that says:

"VT-x is being used by another hypervisor (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please close all other virtualization programs. (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Component: ConsoleWrap

Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}"

Could you help me with this issue?

I would be very grateful if you could help me because I need to use those virtual machines and I don't want to change my antivirus.

Kind regards.

Ok, I found out that the problem was the last update from Microsoft... (Internet Explorer Flash Player Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for 64 bits systems) (KB3133431)

I am having the same problem. Hopefully the techs can fix this as I want to stay with Bitdefender and also use VMs.

I reinstalled VirtualBox by running as Administrator and it is now working OK. Posting from Ubuntu 15.10 as Guest on Windows 10 Host.

Thank you both for posting back your results.

Glad to know that the issue is resolved. I will close this topic, but should you have any further issue with Bitdefender please don't hesitate to create a new topic.

Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!
