How do I remove Virtualbox from Macbook Pro?

Remove virtual box!

I am having slow issues with Mavericks since I updated. I have plenty of ram. I posted a thread and this person helped me and found virtualbox on my computer. I have never used windows on my computer. I was told by apple store to buy more ram for the slowness of my computer spinning disk when i type or open a program. I think removing virtual box will help but we are having a hard time removing it. After trying a few things he said "VirtualBox is still hanging around, and loading extensions, at this point you need 'hands on' help to remove it, this method isn't working.” Anyone know how to remove virtual box from a mac? Thought I would try one more time! and here is some more info. Thank you so much

You still have some form of cleaner app installed:


[System] com.freemacsoft.appcleanerd.plist 3rd-Party support link

These are notorious perforamnce killers. Their web site has no instructions on removing; you will need to contact them to find how to fully expunge it form your computer:

Also Glims can be a problem. Try either diabling it or uninstalling it and see if this get better.

Ohhh Kristen... you were doing so well.


Boot to the Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys while turning the machine on. Reinstall OS X. This shouldn't hurt your stuff as long as you don't reformat or erase the partition. Reinstalling the OS will hopefully get you back to where you were. You'll end up with 10.9 and have to do the updates again to get back to 10.9.2.
