Same blessed thing happened when I opened my Note 3 this morning! Having read all relevant posts herein, and being a "veteran" of decades of digital stuff, I think this is a fault of the Verizon update that apparently took place on Sept.8. I just hate when they do this kind of thing; it throws every victim into a time-consuming tizzy & "they" whether Verizon or Microsoft or whatever, never apologize, repay us for our time o&/or angst spent on the problem - And, until the information trickles down to their "front line" people, they generally blame us, the consumers, for having done VZ protect something incautious! I do NOT believe the Gallery is malware-infested. I do believe Verizon caused this problem. I do doubt they'll ever apologize or compensate any of us fro having done so. I am going to tell the VZ Protect program to "keep" the 2 apps (both actually Gallery apps), & go on about my business - after uninstalling the "google" Antivirus a guy in my local Verizon store installed today in a benighted attempt to help. "they" mean well...but, really! [Read somewhere, they're "working on a fix"!] Cheers, Vespasia
