So you are aware, winupd.exe is a keylogger, and an e mail worm, amongst other things. It also opens port 6667 i believe. The reason it keeps coming back, is that it is spawned from another program called STROPEN.exe, which also installs CMD32.dll, and SDSINI.ini (both in \Windows). You will have to get rid of these files, and any instance of them in your registry as well. Also, you may want to look for slipped.exe, enterprise.exe and leiame.exe which can also be bundled with this trojan. A good reference page can be found here: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojtofgeru.html
