Completely remove Virtualbox from Ubuntu 8.04

I am trying to completely remove Virtualbox from my Ubuntu 8.04 system. I do not remember exactly how I installed it (was quite a while ago). I tried to remove it from the Add/Remove application, but when I search for files containing virtualbox on my system quite a few com up. What is the best way to safely remove everything? Also, in my Applications>System Tools menu I still have a listing for Sun xVM VirtualBox that I cannot get rid of. If I edit the menu this does not show up as an option to remove it. Hoping to get that fixed too. Here are the files that a search comes up with
