virtualbox.org

When I try to uninstall a v3.0.10 installation the uninstall dialog box with the uninstall progress bar
appears. Unfortuantely the process does not stop. The progress bar is displayed forever.
When I click on the CANCEL button the box is still visible forever.

Even worse: When I (after 30 minutes) cancel the uninstallation process from the Windows TaskManager
then the "uninstall" entry is removed.
I cannot re-start uninstall a second time.

Good software removes the "uninstall entry" only in the last step and Not if the
deinstallation is not finshed.

VB seems to hang at a certain point. Possibly it is the USB support installation.
So I could not even install VirtualBox again.

How to I really get rid of all VB installations (espescially of the USB access configurations and links) ?

Hi,
Usually this occurs because something is preventing the VirtualBox network adapters from being uninstalled,
I had the same problem, what solved it for me was to go inside the Connection properties of every connection inside Network Connections and uncheck the check mark of various 3rd party adapters, in my case i had Trend Firewall and Checkpoint VPN-1 secure client bindings in my Local area connection,
I also had to stop the service for checkpoint VPN-1 and trend, you can find out what adapters bind to your NIC by going to Device Manager on the host machine
and adding hidden devices to View and then expanding the network adapters node,

If this doesn't help use revo uninstaller, and the registry but you should try opting out all other firewall, AV, Proxy (tor, hotspot shield etc.)

hope this works, it did for me
