Problem installing Virtual Box

[bicky]

I have been using Virtual Box for months, however due to a Virus problem in Wndows I have been forced to de-install Virtual Box. My problem is I have tried every way that I know to reinstall but with no success. My latest effort thro' the terminal came up with this error message

I seem to have a problem with installing the Kernel.

Anyone have any ideas ??

Install Version from VBOX Homepage.

Read UserManual for Requirements like gcc and kernel-source.

Do a sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-ose first if you want to use the VirtualBox PUEL Edition. Note that this has extra functionality that you will probably want to use.
