Q: what is this "autoupdate" in my dock?
hi, I just noticed this icon in my dock and was unsure of what it is and what its doing.
It is named "autoupdate" and the drop down menu, next to the apple icon, has no items.
Also, over the last few weeks a popup has been appearing from time to time. The popup is "autoupdate" asking for a password to make changes to the computer. As I'm not sure which program it belongs to I have just canceled the password requests so far.
Does anyone know what this is and what I should do?
BTW, I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Thanks, Daniel

I don't recognise that icon, it is not the icon for AutoUpdate from Microsoft Office 2008 or 2011 for example.
You could try right-clicking on the icon in the dock and selecting 'Show in Finder' from the resulting menu. The name/location of that folder might give clues as to what application this AutoUpdater is for.
