System Extension Blocked

installing Malewarebytes on a new MacBook Air. Get notice: "system extension blocked" and to enable extension open system preferences (security and privacy). Only option I thought was applicable was to turn firewall off which did not work. Any advice.

System software from developer AVAST blocked I have just installed the free version of AVAST anti-virus software on my MacBook Pro (2012), but my system has blocked the system extensions for File Shield, Mail Shield & Web Shield. This means that I am not protected "live" in these areas. In Security & Privacy settings, the "ALLOW" button is active, but when I click it nothing happens. I am running OSX 10.13.4. How can I fix this?

Macos high sierra "system extension blocked" Hello, I have a problem with my macbook. Some apps require some system extension. Usually you allow the app to use it in System Preferences, but when I click allow nothing happens. I asked what to do in Apple discussions, and someone answered me. The way was to disable malware protection, but I still want to get malware protection from Apple, so I didn't do it. Now I think it's time to reset my laptop again, but my question is will I still have the same problem when I reset it (with macos recovery)?
