@thomas3463 can you check what is you're USB chip maker? It seems that VirtualBox is currently not working with ASMedia based USB controllers or AMD based systems, can you confirm if yours is one of them? P.S.

What are benefits of guest additions on gui-less server instalation

I was wondering over two things:
1. What are benefits of installing GA in server without x.org?
2. Does GA affects resolution or other aspects when using x.org through xfvb?

Re: Infecting a guest machine with a virus..

What would the infected machine be able to do if you enable network or share an EMPTY folder?
