Someone I had a shared dropbox folder with was infected with ransomware. As of now, I do not beleive I am infected. i went ahead and left the shares. I scanned with malwarebytes, hitmanpro, and windows defender and it say my machine is clean. Is there anything else I should look for?
Hello rinconmike
The advice received at https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topi...45-ransomware/ is by far the best you will find. An experienced professional can soon render an accurate assessment after a thorough analysis of the system in question.
HTH
If a PC is infected with ransomware, it takes seconds to encrypt the files. The user possibly has no time to run a scan or do an analysis.
I will head over to malwarebytes forum. But if I my system was infected via dropbox files, would it be obvious?
Do you think ransomware would delay encryption if it got into your system via DropBox?
I am not sure.
I am not sure. A company I work with was hit. I am not on their network. They have dropbox on a server and internally map network drives for local users. Then for other users they share dropbox folders. I had 3 folders shared. After I found out the issue, I removed the share from my dropbox. I did not inspect the content of those folders. I have DB on three machines so three machines had those folders but all removed when I removed the share.
The ransomware hit the printers and the printers printed out this file.

Not that it changes anything with how this threat is dealt with but I'm just always curious to know more about the origins.
To satisfy my own curiosity and any others that might care...
