No. Not a virus. It is a system update to install the latest security fixes. The update was released on 2/27/2017. Samsung Galaxy S 5 Software Update | Verizon Wireless

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

565DAVE, this is a mystery to us too! When did this issue start? Did you recently update the software on your device or download a new application to it? Let’s try pressing and holding the power and home button at the same time. This will soft reset your screen.
