    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!

This is the second time in two weeks or  so that you've sent out an auto-update which Norton says contains no certificate.

 

I blocked it ; not sure about the other instance, as Norton foolishly allows a proceed if you aren't around to catch this.

 

Please, don't be untrustworthy -- at least two meanings intended, and fix this...!

 

Thanks
