Hi Frank

There is no such Windows File as Winupdate.exe - it is a Virus. More info
here:

Update your virus definitions regularly if that virus hadn't been found.

Scan you system for free here:

There is no such file called winupdate.exe in Windows 2000. It's just this
Virus that is called winupdate.exe. You will not have to replace that file.
In order to stop this window at startup make sure that a shortcut to that
file isn't in your Startup Folder.
If you cannot find it here, then download this tool to manager your Startup
Options (and remove that shortcut):

Hope this helps. Regards,
