Hey LPJTech, sorry to hear about that!
Just to recap here: it sounds like your Dropbox account was hacked and the person that did then shared malicious content to others.
We can start off by identifying if we're talking about a shared folder or a shared link. Can you check, and let me know more? That'll then help me guide you correctly.
I'm afraid you can't disable the email notification, but we'll try our best to get to the bottom of this, in order for you all to continue using your account as you would.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.
