[Solved] VBox message even though VBox not loaded

Post by dromo »

Hello all,

Apologies if I'm being naive but I have a query about Virtual Box version 3.0.2 r49928 running on an XP host.

Even though I have not loaded Vbox, and cannot see any processes running in Process Explorer, sometimes when I first switch on my computer I get a "VBox host only network - network cable unplugged" message. This makes me suspicious that something hidden is running somewhere on my system - any ideas guys?

Cheers,
Dromo

VBox installs LAN drivers, they are always active and sometimes produce messages, this is normal behaviour.
