VT provides enhancements for virtual machines running on your computer. If you don’t know what a virtual machine is, you don’t need this and should leave it disabled.
A virtual machine is an operating system running as an application simultaneously with your current OS. Basically, you could have Windows Vista on your laptop and set up a VM to run Windows XP, so if you are in Vista and need to use a certain XP-only app, you can open up the virtual machine and run XP in a window, then close it when you’re done.
Virtualization is a tool so that you can run a virtual pc on your pc. Essentially, you can run a virtual computer in your own computer. People sometimes use this incase they want to run Linux or another operating system inside their windows laptop. It’s not really necessary, so just leave it disabled.
I wouldn’t activate it unless you have virtual software on your PC, you can download a free version from the link below, learn how to set it up using ISO imagery,great way to surf, If it gets infected just delete it and build a new one, you real PC is totally protected
