What does 'A hypervisor has been detected" mean, and is it a bad thing? Do I need to remove it? Is it malware? How can I detect a virus/malware affectively without using quick scan?

In system information, Kernel DMA protection is on, and it says "A hypervisor has been detected...". Is this a negative thing? does that mean I have a virus or malware and need to remove it? If so, how can I remove it?

    Hypervisor is virtualization software that allows you to make virtual computer on your device. Windows Hyper-V comes preinstalled on windows server and windows Pro. It's nothing to be worried about.
