Dropbox conflicting with Anti virus (Norton/Sophos)

Norton Firewall Alert: "Dropbox 49.4.69 does not have a valid digital signature."

 

Can someone please help with this? I don't understand what's going on.

  • Users that reported this issue through support tickets have mentioned that after reinstalling the latest versions of their antivirus, as well as the Dropbox desktop application, the message doesn't appear anymore and the issue is resolved.

     

    Please try with this and let us know if it's not the case for you. Please also let us know what are the versions you're using.

     

    Thanks!

    Where are you getting it exactly davidnelson? Have you updated your antivirus program to its latest version, thus updating its database?

    If you don't mind me asking, which program are you using that results to this message? 

    Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there. 

    In any case, thanks again for posting here David (I guess you're the same as davidonelson - right?)

    Next time I will try to get a screen clip so I can post that.

    I have a paid subscription and I keep it updated.
