Virtualbox launch error

[Rooney1111]

I was getting the following error on launch...see attachment. I completely deleted Virtualbox and the WinXP installation and after 2 days work had it all installed and running again. It worked for a couple of days but now the error has returned. Any advice on how to resolved this without another 2 wasted days greatly appreciated.

Do you see the last part of the bold message mentioning a file; "C:\Users\Graham\VirtualBox VMs\WinXP\Logs\VBoxHardening.log"? Well, ZIP that file and attach it to your response.

You seem to have a hardening problem. Please read really carefully the following FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues for some generic guidelines/ideas. Remember, these are guidelines, not the exact solution, you have to use your judgement as to which program might be responsible...

Hi Hardening log attached as requested - thanks

Did you read the article I linked to? Please do. And then start by uninstalling Malwarebytes.

I do not give you the links just for fun, you're supposed to read the linked article and act upon the advice presented there...

Hi, yes have read article and uninstalled Malwarebytes but still the same problem.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, yes have read article and uninstalled Malwarebytes but still the same problem.

I'm sorry, but that's not what the log said:

It's what the log I sent you said, I have subsequently, and on your adviec, now removed Malwarebytes and AVG but still not working. Should I resend the log now that these 2 apps have been removed?

Many thanks

Have decided to abandon VB in favour of the free version of VMWare, but thanks for your help!

Thread locked, not because Rooney1111 decided to not use VirtualBox, but because the thread was a victim of vandalism and breaking of the forum rules.
