2 things:
1) Does the CPU actually have VT in it. The BIOS can enable disable to its hearts content, but if the CPU does not have it, then there isn't much that can be done.
2) See if you have BIOS updates that you can apply. This has been a bug in various BIOSes in the past (say you do something but don't)

My problem now is that I don't know how to enable kvm-intel (my proccessor is intel branded, so I guess I need kvm-intel, right?). Tryed with modprobe but it says opperation not supported, so what is the right command and is this the right way to go (at least as far as we know from that info)?I have VT and VT-d on my bios, I enabled VT both and it doesn't help.When I try to use the command eric gave (thanks for that) I have the same problems with VT and VT-d enabled or disabled.
When I enabled VT-d I had an error from abrt that said that most likely my bios weren't configured right so now only VT is enabled.The result of virt-host-validate is (its the same for VT/VT-d enabled or disabled):
QEMU: Checking for hardware virtualization : PASS
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/kvm : FAIL (Check that the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' modules are loaded & the BIOS has enabled virtualization)
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/vhost-net : WARN (Load the 'vhost_net' module to improve performance of virtio networking)
QEMU: Checking for device /dev/net/tun : PASS
LXC: Checking for Linux >= 2.6.26 : PASS

I checked the sha and it matches the one on the site, so I guess
thats not the problem. thanks for the try.
I just installed libvirt-daemon-kvm and qemu-kvm and still can't
work with kvm.
It says that KVM is not available. What should I install so I will
have it?
Does the CPU have the proper KVM flags? I have a Pentium(R) Dual-Core
CPU E5300 which turned out not to have the VMX flags but other models
did (for some reason Intel sold a series of CPU's that had vmx burnt out
on it for some reason..)
They disabled VT-d on lower-end CPUs for some time as a market differentiation tactic (you need virt, you pay more).
