Virus total scan popped up with this TrojanSpy.Stealer.ygv, should we be worried?

[PSYKO]

like it says in the title, I scan everything with virus total and on all my machines it popped a positive for this 

Jiangmin

TrojanSpy.Stealer.ygv

in the latest dropbox installer 152.4.4880

false positive or cause for concern?

Hey @PSYKO, thanks for reaching out to us.

Are your Dropbox files affected in any way? Like, any strange extensions added to your files, or are you not able to open them, etc.?

Where did this "Jiangmin TrojanSpy.Stealer.ygv" appear?

If you add the Dropbox cache folder to an ignore list on your antivirus, do you see a difference?

Keep me posted.

Its come up on all 3 locations I have dropbox installed, it came up on the installer for dropboxclient_153.4.3932.exe, up until that point I've had no virus results or anything for any DB installer, the dropbox.exe also seems to be clear, it's just the installer that's showing the trojan, its popped up twice on the same dropboxclient_153.4.3932.exe,  these files were initiated by dropbox as an update, i did not go to the website and manually download them

I see, this does look like a false positive, @PSYKO.

Since your Dropbox files are not harmed/encrypted in any way, you don't have to worry about this being an actual virus.

Have you tried whitelisting Dropbox in your antivirus?
