Purpose for legitimate TiWorker.exe file to be accessing the internet?

Why does it want to phone home, can anyone shed more light on that? Windows 8.

I found this. . . I hope it helps. I noticed there is a 'fix' for this issue it seems.

I wasn't complaining that it was causing any problems on my system, I was just asking where it wants to connect to and why and what information is it sending in/out of our systems?

Well; given that TiWorker is just the executable behind the Trusted Installer (goes as Windows Modules Installer in the services tab and handles Windows Update tasks) service... My guess is that the reason for it "phoning" home is that it wants to constantly check for "updates", "fixes", etc.

The default for that service on Win7 is Manual (Started)... I stopped it on my daily driver PC and it only runs when I manually launch windows update every week or so... Not sure if you can do the same in Win8, but it would be worth a try.
