VirtualBox' own installer has the following warning:

Warning:

Network Interfaces

Installing the Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.0.32 Networking feature will reset your network connection and temporarily disconnect you from the network.

Proceed with installation now?

The bundle installer should have a similar warning so that people installing BOINC can decide if this is a good time for the network reset.

On the LHC project you don't need the vbox advanced networking components for it to work so I just dissable these options at installaion. I don't know if other projects are the same but it could be possiable to just change the launch options for the installer.

It is planned that the next release of BOINC will have WSL+Docker support, and thus VBox won't be a recommended part of the installation anymore.
There will still be a support of VBox tasks (if WSL is disabled/not detected), but there will be not bundled installation anymore.
