Q: "Application is trying to install a new helper tool"  Is it safe?

iOS 8.0.2  Message "Application is trying to install a new helper tool.  Type your password to allow this."  Is it safe to allow this?  I don't know what application is prompting this message.

    I went today to the Apple Store for this problem. All I had to do is type the password I use to sign into my Mac, The same password I use when I walk away from my Mac and I move my mouse and then it prompts me to type my password. What this is, like the young man in the store explained to me. They are FANCY words to ask you to be the administrator of the Apple. That simple. I hope this helps
