hi all.

i have done a ton of research and finally figured out that i have to re-download the Virtual Box 4.2.4 download in order to find the virtualbox_uninstall.tool since it was not on my hard drive for some reason.

however, when i get the prompt after downloading and i try and double click on the uninstall tool i get an error that says:

" 'VirtualBox_Uninstall. tool' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer..."

i have gone ahead and RE-INSTALLED the VirtualBox app and tried this again but i get the same results.

any ideas on what i can do here?

You asked the same question two weeks ago. ChipMcK already gave you the answer. You do NOT have to re-download 4.2.4. Every single download of VirtualBox-<version>.dmg file contains the "VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool".
If you search the web for "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" you'll find that the "problem" is with the security settings on your Mac.
