which antivirus works in XP SP3 ?

[Илдар]

VBOX 5.1.22 r115126 (Qt5.6.2)
I tried to install AVG antivirus on XP guest.
But VM starts to crash at XP boot time after installation.
"Loading last success config" at XP boot menu helps, now I can start guest OS, but it still without antivirus.
It seems like this promlem was always, and bug status "fixed" means nothing:

So, does anybody know any ligthwight antivirus, that works in XP guest?

VPN software ask for Antivirus with fresh databases, and doesnt work without antivirus.

But "obsolete" does mean that nobody cared enough to answer.

Microsoft Security Essentials. It even gets virus updates, even though XP itself doesn't.

No, Microsoft Security Essentials currently works only from Vista and above.
I tried to install it now, it sayd it will not work on XP.

Really?! Your VPN software asks for specific antivirus versions and dates? Will it work with the MS Security Essentials?

Your problem is a known issue with Avast:

00:00:01.526839 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes

Enable VT-x in your computer, do a cold boot of your computer and see if that fixes it.
