[SloppyMcFloppy]

 Can i anyone please explain to me what is autoupdate.exe is? the file is executable file located in windows > system32 > autoupdate.exe. I have ran anti malware scan with malwarebytes on demand,Emsisoft, and kaspersky tdsskiller and both find nothing suspicious about file. However, i want to know more whether they are dangerous or not, but for some reason when i try to upload to virustotal.com the file is not showing in, but is showing when i do a search on file explorer. I am using windows 8 64 bit, and here is the picture of the executable file.
