virtualbox.org

I have not yet installed VirtualBox on a XP x64 host. I'm about to install ESET's Smart Security 4 (antivirus + firewall). Should I install VirtualBox before or after installing ESET? If after ESET, should I then temporarily disable ESET's antivirus and/or firewall before installing VirtualBox?

Thanks,
Don Culp

The order shouldn't matter. When you install it after you have the security suite installed, it should not be needed to disable the antivirus software. I run AVG on my Windows machine (though I hardly boot to it) and never disabled it when installing or upgrading VB. Haven't seen any issues.
