False flag? au.v4.download.windowsupdate.com dloaded by svchost.exe

While just viewing my regular facebook feed, I got a warning that popped up. I took a screen snag of it. I wasn't downloading anything at the time. In fact, I had just turned on my computer for the day.
Is this a false flag or a problem?
Thanks!

reputation warnings are not false .... as it say, a very new or very rare file
suspicious files can be checked here
