    Norton reports the same issue for me just now:  Dropbox 53.4.67 installer does not have a valid signature.  So the problem continues.

        I just got the same warning for Dropbox 55.4.171.  I am completely up to date with my Norton Antivirus, live update shows no updates available.  Since this has been going on a long time it seems that the problem may be with Dropbox not with Norton.  Any ideas how to fix this problem?

         

        Thanks,

        Bill
