Avast! Emergency Update Weird Scheduled Task

Every time Avast program updates, no matter automatically or manually, this scheduled task appears (if not present or deleted) in Windows Scheduled Tasks folder with the following settings:

C\WINDOWS\Tasks\avast! Emergency Update job
Run: “C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastEmUpdate.exe”
Run as: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Enabled (scheduled task runs at specified time)

  1. Every 12 hours from xx:xx for 24 hours; starting xx/xx/2012

Who schedules this? Why Emergency? Update of what? Why these settings? Why not related to the setting from the program interface?

Questions without answers.
