Hey, I got it too...I deleted the winupd.exe, the registry key for the the LOCAL_MACHINE/...WINDOWS/current
version/run (and maybe run services). I also found a /winupd folder in the current
User/software/winupd/ and deleted it. I ran the symantec av tool for Beagle_N; but
it doesn't work completely.
On reboot, the process is somehow spawned by something else. It infects other .exe
with its own code. It modified regedit so when I opened it, it spawned winupd.exe
even after I updated it. Once winupd.exe is running, it shutdown those important
.exe's like regedit. Ugg. I got that cleaned up, but it still reappears on boot up.
It also copies itself into any folder that has "shar" in it (SHARed folder) with
lame names. I found them in every folder with "shar" in it. But they are alll the
same sizes (24.2, or 25k).
This looks like a new variant of previous ones. Let me know if u find a fix...
I'm just not sure what is creating and starting winupd.exe on boot up.
