    Help VZWAVSService stops - should I care?

    In the past few days, when I boot my S3, a message appears that says, "Unfortunately, VZWAVSService has stopped." I don't even know what VZWAVSService is - I can only guess that it is something Verizon-related - so I don't whether I should care that it stops. But I would like to stop that...
