autoupdate window question

I keep getting a window popping up that says:

"Autoupdate wants to make changes. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this"

Does anyone know what program this is? Is it a built in part of OSX (Mavericks)?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null

For me it's BitTorrent that opens the Autoupdate dialog box every time I quit, despite unchecking Auto Update in the Preferences of the program. I found it by following the advice about using Open in Finder when Autoupdate appears in the Dock.
