Hi, one of a few submissions today re: a new HP x360 Spectre convertible laptop with OEM Win10 Home and McAfee trial pre-installed. I purchased from Best Buy on Dec 9 and have already done one reset.


I came across a MpSigStub.log file in the temp directory, contents below, and can't find much info on either MpSigStub.exe or AM_Engine.exe.


Any insight appreciated.
