Please try reinstalling VirtualBox (several times)

Post by leonardopereira »

Hello.

This is the third time I've been asked to reinstall VirtualBox (6.1.30), but I don't know what I did or didn't do to make this happen. My VM has CentOS 7.9 installed.

I have attached the LOG to this publication.

I appreciate any help.

Who's asking?

The hardening log shows a very quick die-off.

1. Please uninstall Virtualbox and reboot the host.
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and look for any .sys files starting with "Vbox". There could be up to 5 such files. Delete them, then reboot the host again.
3. Install Virtualbox by right-clicking the installer and Run As Administrator.

:lol:

@scottgus1:
The correct answer would have been: VirtualBox or Windows, as can be seen in the second screenshot.
