application that checks for updates in virtualbox

Post by Tracey »

What/Which virtualbox program is used to check for updates to virtualbox?

I installed a new firewall in windows 7 and I am only allowing selected programs (programs that check for updates) to access the internet.
virtualbox can't check for updates because I don't know which program does the checking.

Please advise.
Thanks, Tracey

Well I use Bitdefender's firewall on Windows 11 and it has made rules for vboxsvc.exe and virtualboxvm.exe, to allow them to access the internet.
