Help What's with this Wireless Update thingy?

[mikesheld]

I just bought a new BLU smartphone few weeks ago

About a week after purchase, I began seeing this "Wireless Update" thing, popping up all by itself, and trying to download.

Naturally, I let it proceed. It downloads fine, but each time I click "INSTALL", I get the error :

"Unzip Error"

I tried contacting BLU support, and they said to open the Wireless Update App, and clear both data and cache.

However, upon reading/researching several online forums, it seems that this so-called wireless update may not be what it seems: many have claimed that it installs some kind of virus/malware onto one's BLU device.

For now, I have disabled all notifications for this app, and also disabled auto-updates.

So, is this app-update legit? Or is it a trojan virus?

Thanks
