Dropbox StaffHi there UsoT - sorry to hear about this.

Hey there Walter,
Thanks for your speedy response. I have been getting this ever since yesterday when I attempted to share a link to a person who required a file that I had, from Windows notification it says that I am a banned user, and from dropbox.com it said that dropbox is interupting my sharing because I have attempted to share a file containing malware.
I have not received an email from dropbox, however the popup on dropbox.com told me to follow the directions in my email. I've checked since then and have not received any email regarding proceedings I should follow.
Thank you
Hey,
Apologies, but I require dropbox on a quite frequent basis, so bumping this to see if there is any possible assistance I can receive. Thank you.

Hello,
Sorry to drag this out again, but I've just encountered the same issue with my dropbox. I just tried to share a folder with a friend and it was flagged as Malware. There are known false positives when sharing applications coded in this particular programming language but this is the second time in a month.
Could I please have some assistance? Thank you.
