Avast High Sierra System Extension Blocked

My MacBook has entered Panic Boot several times over the last few days. Most of the times it has happened while starting the laptop, it doesnt make any sound and I dont get to see the Apple log, I know its on because the usb mouse sensor is on. After several tries, the computer goes off. I let it rest ten minutes and then try again, it has always worked.

Initially I had bitTorrent, CleanmyMac.app and Avast security as login items, all of that is off now, but I still keep on bumping into the same problem

I have tried to solve the problem myself but I am not sure what could be causing it. I have run a test with EtreCheck and here are the results. It would be great if anyone could help me figure out how to solve this issue, or at least to understand if its hardware or software, I live in a place with very high humidity and I am considering this might be related (since other devices in my house have started failing too).

Thank you in advanced for the support.

I was experiencing the same issue, but it was solved after quitting the software MagicPrefs.


Avast High Sierra System Extension Blocked Mac

I came across this article, ESET system extension blocked in macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)—ESET Knowledgebase, where it suggests that the reason for the allow button not responding could be 'You are using a third-party application to emulate mouse or trackpad (such as MagicPrefs, Synergy, BetterTouchTool ...). You need to close or uninstall this application in order to restore access to the Allow button'
