Hi Nancy:

This started when I loaded and executed EtreCheckPro on my Macbook for another reason. The report listed as a Minor Issue and that this file is considered an "Unsigned File". I was then pointed to a posting on DropBox that this could be a result of the uninstall wasn't completed when the reinstallation was performed.

I did figure out how to quit DropBox and then reinstall the advanced. I haven't rerun the check again so I don't know if that file is still around our not. Will probably run it later today.

So I guess I'm good to go, unless you have more information about how to handle this file. I can send you the EtreChek report if it helps.

Thanks

 Jeff
