Is this Malware?

Hi All:

Quick question: have you ever seen something like this? A software update that does not say what's the app or operating system to be updated and who is the publisher?

When I click the back arrow to the left of "Software Update", there isn't any other user interface. I am simply sent to the home page of my cell.

Is there any way to completely remove this package? From where?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Welcome to the site!

This looks like a standard Android patch, probably minor security/functionality updates. These are always a little cryptic about what they deliver. Depending on your carrier, you may be forced to install this eventually.

Long story short: looks safe to me.

Regards,
Eric.

Thank you Eric! You are correct.
I found the update through "system settings< about phone<system update".
