Help touchwiz

I get getting a popup that says touchwiz has stopped. I have a Galazy S4. I just started using this phone a few weeks ago. I don't really know what touchwiz is. How can I correct this.
Thank You,

TouchWiz is the outer skin you see - your desktop and things associated with it, as well as the Samsung apps.

The part of TouchWiz that's going away is called the launcher - Android is shutting it down to maintain enough memory for the rest of the system.

Many of us replace the manufacturer launcher with one that tends to be more efficient.

Check out "Nova Launcher"

Now that is 100% safe to try, that's the free version and if you don't like it, uninstall it and your phone will look and feel exactly as it did just before you installed Nova.

I predict you'll like it better.

It has a wealth of settings options, under Advanced you'll find one called Aggressive, there to help keep it locked into memory when things get busy under the hood.

Hope this helps!
