Default Virtualbox 4 turns on my webcam

I recently installed a webcam and now when I start an XP VM in Virtualbox 4 the webcam camera turns on. The webcam software is not installed in the VM and the webcam is not showing in the Device Manager. I don't actually want to use the webcam in the VM so I'd like to figure out how to turn it off. Any thoughts about how to proceed? TIA

Default Re: Virtualbox 4 turns on my webcam

Go into the start up manager and un- check the box so that the camera needs to be started manually.
Just remember to turn it back off again after you use it.
I did that with mine in Windows 7Pro x64 and it's not giving me any problems.
Hope this helps.
