What is the risk of enabling virtualization on my notebook?
I have installed Bluestacks the android emulator, the app asked for enabling virtualization, i did some search and found that enabling it can be a security issue..i could not understand this part!!
So what can be the risk of enabling virtualization? and should i enable it in my case especially it really enhanced performance of my app??

I think whenever you enable features, you inherently increase your risk level. It is a natural part of computing. In other words, the statement that enabling a feature could be a security risk is true for just about anything, however unlikely that is. Virtualization is needed to run your virtual machines.
