I met this problem recently, since I had used vagrant and virtualbox in the past couple of months with nothing wrong.

When I start the vm in virtualbox GUI, it shows a error dialog. By googling the error message, I found it might be an Avira (which is a anti-virus software) bug.

A solution described here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67840&start=195#p347694

• Open Avira configuration and go to General -> Security.
• Disable product protection options (all three).
• Press Ok button to save configuration.
• Press Start->Settings-> Control Panel->System.
• Start "Device Manager" in the tab "Hardware".
• In "View" menu activate the option "Show hidden devices".
• Now select the node "Non-plug and play drivers".
• Right-click on the driver "avipbb" and select "Properties".
• In tab "Driver" select the option "Disabled" and click OK.
• Close all and reboot.

It works for me.
