"Software is available that will help your Galaxy S3 communicate with your PC. Install now?"

I'm not sure what I did to cause this but every time I plug in my phone via USB to my laptop I get a dialog box with "Software is available that will help your Galaxy S3 communicate with your PC. Install now?" I do not want this software but there doesn't appear to be a way to kill this annoying dialog. Anyone have any luck getting rid of it?

Hi Gary! I can see how this can be a pain to have to deal with, if it is not something you would like to install. This is built into the software of your device and will ask to load each time you plug it in. Most computer/laptops will have the option to turn off AutoPlay, which is what prompts the laptop to search for new software, like you are describing. Look to your laptops user manual to see how to turn off/on this Autoplay option.
