Sounds like it might be a variant of Gaobot:

Hi:

We are looking at an abnormal program named "winsupdater.exe" and we are
having trouble installing antispyware software on the infected
computers,
and the antivirus is not detecting the malware.
We were able to disable it manual trough regedit, were it leaves a key
entry
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
named
"Microsoft Window Updater", but anyone knows if this is a new virus or
spyware?
