It's not a very big program or download. No, it's not right. Normally, VirtualBox's installer size is 100+ MB.

It's not a very big program or download. FileHippo used to be a good source for old programme versions. Unfortunately, that has changed. What you download there lately are only downloaders. Total crap! I have been avoiding this site for a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK ... found it using your earlier information ... this is what I downloaded: VirtualBox-4.3.28-100309-Win.exe / 13-May-2015 / 107M So I should be good to go. Also thanks Cocodile and AstroSkipper for the help. I haven't been to FileHippo for a download for several years. Yes, it used to be a good site ... I didn't think that FileHippo download looked right so now I know for sure with your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust is good, but control is better. Such a startup manager, which controls all startup entries, notifies newly created one, and gives the option to block it, I also consider a security programme. So, it is already on my internal list of security programmes for Windows XP.. Edited July 5, 2023 by AstroSkipper Update of content 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest overly-simplified way to describe VirtualBox is "an operating system within an operating system". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to tell, it's a laptop. Edited July 5, 2023 by Cocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just afraid my old celeron (1core) wouldn't like the additional load. It is very light. No significant CPU load and very little RAM consumption. My computer has a very old single core CPU. So, no problem at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
