Very strange security issues from running the Log4j-finder.exe on a Windows 10 machine?

While I appreciate your team's efforts, thought I'd pass on our feedback. When we ran the Log4j-finer.exe on a Windows 10 machine, first we noticed that windows smart screen filter warning popped up waring me even though the app is supposed to be signed? Then the app went into scanning mode for about 5 minutes, then Dropbox suddenly just opened up by itself, and stated that it was syncing, and then downloading a file, again, all by itself? This has never happened before on this machine. I forgot that dropbox was even on this machine. I went and killed the Log4j-finder.exe and the 3 spawned Dropbox instances that are not setup to start with the OS. Hoping nothing jumped the shark here that could affect our network. Thanks...Howie
