Running Win 10, Technical edition of Spybot 2.4, solid internet connection.

Anti-malware updates perfectly fine, but when it comes to antivirus it fails to update.

Specifically:
"Update started...
[00:47.660] The antivirus update failed to download files (error: -2108)!
[00:47.922] [+] Antivirus update server av.safer-networking.org available.
[00:48.232] [+] Antivirus update server av2.safer-networking.org available.
[00:48.549] [+] Antivirus update server av3.safer-networking.org available.
[00:48.608] [+] Antivirus update server upgrade.bitdefender.com available.
[00:48.608] [i] Retrying to install updates (2. attempt)..."
...and repeats until I close the updater.

Anyone know what this is about?
Thanks,
Ben


PS:
I thought I figured out a solution which seemed to be tied to an error message I was receiving at shutdown here (https://www.safer-networking.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bitdefender.png)
Followed through with this solution and it fixed the error message, but not the original problem I thought it was tied to. I still have a suspicion it could be related.


EDIT:
Just saw there are several others who are talking about the same thing (which for some reason didn't come up in my search results). Never mind on a reply.
