Well, I've seen a lot of people having trouble with VirtualBox, me included. Here is the process of installing Oracle VM VirtualBox correctly on Fedora 18 Spherical Cow.
Go to the VirtualBox website (http://virtualbox.org) and navigate to the Downloads page (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads). Then, select your architecture, download the RPM, and install it.
Or, you can do this all from the command line:
32-bit
rpm -ivh 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_fedora18-1.i686.rpm'
AMD 64-bit
rpm -ivh 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.6_82870_fedora18-1.x86_64.rpm'
And you should have VirtualBox ready to go with no issues.
Just a note to KDE users: you may have to log out, then back in to refresh the KDE menu.
