I moved your post from the "How do I connect to internet from Windows XP?", which was from 01/2015. And on the "OS X Hosts" forum. You do see why, right? Please don't do it again. Double-posting is NOT allowed. Next time I will simply delete your cross-post. And I really hate that...
You have been told what to do. Multiple times. Purge your current installation of VirtualBox. Download the one from the Linux Downloads. If that doesn't work because you've messed up with your Qt libraries, try the "All distributions" (the last one) which includes its own Qt libraries.
And please follow instructions. Don't start experimenting otherwise you're messing up. And we can't be cleaning other people's mess. Especially if they don't listen!
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Never posted in OS X that I know of. I'm running Linux & trying hard to get VirtualBox Windows XP running.

For WinXP specifically, the security certificates have expired about 10 years ago...
The "elsewhere" I'm referring to is your Internet Explorer 6. You won't be able to access anything...

Welcome to the '90s! Imagine if you had no network at all!!!
Download a browser in your host and use shared folders or simple-old-networking to get you going. I believe Firefox 28 was the last one, but I could be wrong on this one. Try Opera or PaleMoon. See which is the last supported version.
Why in the seven kingdoms would you want internet *today* in WinXP?
