OK yesterday I came home and my computer has a window that says

"software download complete." with an "instal now" and "instal later" button

I do not remember downloading anything, conceivably it should be something like a Java update I guess.

But it seems fishy to me, something official would be "instal Java update now"

When I click instal later it comes back up within the hour.

Is there anyway I can check what it is?

Look at the top right hand corner of your browser, see the blue arrow? Click on that and it should drop down a list of the last several items you downloaded, anything there you don't recognize?



The screenshot looks like you might have some malware trying to get itself installed.

The little annoying popup is tied to a "Process" in the Task Manager called "UA.exe"  Kill it and the popup will disappear.  

It is also connected to an application entitled: "Verizon Wireless Software Utility for Android -- Samsung"

Thank you, looks like it is a file for my image editing app (which had been asking me to update it)
