How can I deal with this problem?
Turn off secure boot
in your BIOS. That should fix it.
To enter your BIOS, turn on your computer, and watch the BIOS flash screen and it'll usually tell you what key to touch to enter the BIOS (usually a function key). Once in the BIOS settings, depending on your BIOS, you might see a security section or tab. Find the secure boot option and turn it off, save your changes, and reboot the computer.
Update #1:
To perform a file system check...
- boot to the GRUB menu (where you select which OS to start)
- choose Advanced Options
- choose Recovery mode
- choose Root access
- at the # prompt, type
sudo fsck -f /
- you can ignore errors about the time/date/superblock
- repeat the fsck command if there were other errors
- type
reboot
Update #2:
To remove virtualbox...

sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-qt

Update #3:
To try and fix failed updates...

- at the # prompt, type:
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
reboot
Update #4:
After many failed attempts to fix the problems, you're going to have to reinstall Ubuntu. I don't think that the virtualbox install caused this problem. There must have been something wrong before, even if you didn't know it. I'd always recommend that you have good Windows and Ubuntu backups, just in case anything goes wrong. You'll need a Ubuntu 15.10 DVD/USB, choose reinstall so that it reinstalls into the same place as is currently used, but make sure to uncheck format partition so it'll keep your /home directory.
