var chkbox= $('#divListBox').find(':checked')
                 .map(function() {
                     return $(this).val();

You have tagged the question with jquery but not explicitly mentioned that you only want to use jquery, so...

document.getElementById("divListBox").checked = false;

Frankly I only use jquery when it helps.

The advantage of this solution is if you have on change events or on click events tied to the checkbox this will make them happen.

$('#divListBox').each(function(index, element) {
  var checked = element.checked;
  if (checked) {
    $(element).trigger('click');
  }
});

Also with bootstrap the checkbox wasn't getting found with the :checked selector.

Hope that helps.

This should work:

$('#divListBox :checked').removeAttr('checked');
