PC app pops up mysterious message

For the past few days I keep getting a pop-up window on my PC stating "Software download complete." It provides two buttons: "Install Now" and "Install Later."  I had no idea what this was about and was hesitant to click on the Install Now button.  I was afraid it might be malware.  No way could I find out what software it wanted to install.  So I kept clicking on the Install Later button.  Of course the pop-up kept returning.  I asked my co-workers if anyone had seen this before and luckily one of my co-workers informed me that this was an update for the Verizon Samsung app.  I'd really like to let Verizon know that this app needs to be modified to clearly state what software it wants to install.  In this day and age of viruses and malware it is very poor practice to install unknown software and whoever wrote this program should have realized that people would be hesitant to click on the Install Now button with no idea of what is going to be installed.  C'mon Verizon, you and Samsung can do better than this.  Ok, I'll get off my soap box now.

This is a known issue ... at least for Verizon customers.  Verizon seems unwilling to respond.  Other threads on this topic include:
