It's a windows issue now, however it came about. I don't think it has to do with dropbox anymore, as it is uninstalled. It could be malware, but if it is, why did every file path get taken over by dropbox, at exactly the time I downloaded dropbox? If you want to argue that dropbox is malware, I will agree with you.Īs I said, what I need now is a way to make a functioning desktop that is not associated with dropbox. The nightmare process of getting the machine replace and getting it up to speed while still ill and inundated with other tasks lead to some oversights. If it matters, it's because I had a complete computer hardware melt down earlier this year, as I was approaching the end of a long and debilitating illness. No, I cannot restore to a previous image. Might I ask what AV and FW you are using and are all the definitions up-to-date?ĭo you have a complete, restorable system backup image? Looking at this, it is possible that your system has been compromised by malware.
