Strange update message

[paulbacon]

Got what i think was a push notification today and on the lock screen it just said "information message". Anyway clicked it and a popup opened saying to update my version of android by going to settings etc. Didnt give a link just an OK button. Click it and it went away

Anyway just looked online and seems a few other users having the same message over the past few days. The fact it contains spelling mistakes makes me wonder ifi ts legit

Here is the link with a screenshot of the message - http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/664816-software-update-information-message-legitim...

Anyone got one? Im very careful what i install and download/browse on my phone and all apps downloading through Play Store

Well I have never received a notification that has spelling and grammar mistakes like that, and I'd still run a check for malware. It only takes a couple of minutes and it can't hurt.

Run a scan and all came back clear

No worries mate.

I had one of these messages a few days ago. Dismissed it and had no other issues but as others have advised above its worth running a virus scan to be on the safe side.
