Description
Hello,
The VirtualBox uninstaller on Windows does not remove the following drivers even after multiple reboots:
VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetAdp.sys
VirtualBox Bridged Networking Service: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetFlt.sys
This has the added effect of showing these devices to end-users when calling GetAdaptersAddresses and specifying the GAA_FLAG_INCLUDE_ALL_INTERFACES flag.
The uninstaller should add these drivers to the PendingFileRenameOperations registry key allowing Windows to remove them on system restart.
