Ethereum-wallet 0.7.4 not syncing

Hi All,

Ethereum node, golang version, has not been able to sync since some time last year. It started taking a very long time to verify blocks, apparently due to blockchain spam/attacks. On the reddit forum I found a post advising to purge the blockchain with geth --removedb and then download again with geth --fast.

This appeared to sync the entire blockchain but now, when starting up Ethereum-wallet, it says it needs to sync but is instead slowly counting backwards.

What's happening?

Here's the log file. System is OS X 10.11.6 :
