No. VirtualBox itself will give you a message (when you start the program) if a new version is available.

You can adjust how often is checks and what it checks for in Preferences.

No, there's not.
 Edit: Yes there is, see next post by "Greg Bailey". 
But, I did reply to your other thread (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=91993#p442450), which I moved in the "Suggestions" area. Have a look at it...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Hey Greg, nice one!
I edited my (wrong) post to reflect reality™. Thanks for that, I had completely forgotten about it...
