    I have no idea why my PC tries to download the file named above, Comodo keeps flagging it up periodically. All I can guess is that it's some sort of auto-patch Microsoft periodically does. Anyone out there with tips on how to approach this?

    You mean mpsigstub?

    I have a txt file of it on my computer.

    Looks like it's part of Windows Defender.

    Thanks for the replies. The request always seems to go for the softwaredistribution folder so I'll assume it's windows defender updating itself.
