vboxclient the virtualbox kernel service is not running

[AFMS]

I do not use VirtualBox but also get the notification message. With Synaptic manager I removed all Virtual Box related packages and then reboot. This did not work. Then I saw some residual packages in Synaptic. I then used Lite Tweaks to autoremove packages, clean package cache and clean residual config files. After that and a reboot the message was gone.

I am not a computer expert but it worked and maybe this is of use for people who do not use VirtualBox at all and get that anoying message.
