Hello all,

I was trying to create a new VM on virtual box and anytime I would try to start it, I would get an error and machine would not start to start installing windows in VM. After looking for support I did the following command as posted by someone <sudo chmod o-w /usr> I am new to macs so I am wondering what precautions that will bring me and if its something that can be undone? I saw somewhere that its a big security issue, I repair disk permissions after but not sure if that undid the command.
