Norton reports the same issue for me just now:  Dropbox 53.4.67 installer does not have a valid signature.  So the problem continues.

      I just got the same warning for Dropbox 55.4.171.  I am completely up to date with my Norton Antivirus, live update shows no updates available.  Since this has been going on a long time it seems that the problem may be with Dropbox not with Norton.  Any ideas how to fix this problem?

       

      Thanks,

      Bill

        I'm getting "Dropbox 55.4.171 installer does not have a valid digital signature" message from Norton too.  This looks like its been ongong for months now and still continues with new installers as they come out.  It also says that the 55.4.171 installer has fewer than 5 users in the Norton Community and that the file was released less than a week ago.  What gives?
