Please help as this is my first time working with Virtuemart on Joomla.

First suggest you update Joomla to 2.5.17  - the version you are using is old and known to be insecure.  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0

Update VirtueMart using Joomla's extensions manager, not the live updater in VM which frequently does not work with latest file versions.  If you are updating from a much older VM version then you may need to rewrite some template overrides if used.

For the safe path warning see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98633.0
