Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.20-dfsg-2
Severity: minor
File: VBoxSVC

Here is something VBoxSVC doing all the time in background, although no
vbox instance is running and not even drivers are loaded. It's not much,
just a few syscalls per second according to strace, but it's still waste
of CPU cycles.
