Have an annoying update dialog that appears several times a day. Appears to be the LG bundled apps updater. However, if I choose yes, I cannot proceed. Neither the calculator or the 2nd app icons to the right are click able. Think free Viewer was uninstalled on purpose. Seems fishy. Metropcs guy wasn't able to help.

Got a screenshot. Avast premium doesn't find any malware.

That looks like a pop-up ad (yes, some look pretty official) trying to get you to click yes and install. My second thought is that the app you are using to read articles may require you to download another app or pay for another service to read the articles. Either way, I would suggest looking for alternatives instead of paying for something extra if you don't want to. If it pops-up again you should be able to press the back button to exit out without having to press on any of the actionable buttons on that pop-up.

Thanks. I would agree except for these thoughts.

It occurs so frequently, not just from inoreader.

When I launch Update Center manually, I get the same behavior.

Think I will reset to factory and see if that helps.
