Comodo Internet Security recently started reporting "C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng2.dll" as "Unrecognized". File description is "Windows Update Agent". Was this part of a recent update? What is it about?

1st - check to see if your antivirus software up to date ??
see this post - https://file-intelligence.comodo.com/windows-process-virus-malware/DLL/WUAUENG -
I found that both "wuaueng2.dll" and "wuaueng.dll" are in the same folder. Comodo Internet Security is up to date, but only reports "wuaueng2.dll" and does not offer to remove it.

It's a windows file and isn't essential,it's your comodo that's at fault.

Means it's not required for running windows,it's an update item.

I believe it's an update for Windows Update Agent.

But I wonder why Comodo did not complain about this before. -
lots of times virus/trojans hide as files that sound like windows files. i have no wuaueng2.dll in my systems folder, but i do have wuaueng.dll(the update agent). i'd upload it to https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload and see if other anti-virus also think it's suspicious.

yeah,,,,,,, i'd be deleting the "2" file if it were me. it shouldn't have a name close to the actual windows file. if it's a for real windows file you could download it again later if needed.
