Do you use some form of JavaScript scanning?

I can only see the Windows Update Website with No HTTP Proxy or Standard Proxy.

With Transparent Porxy, it would not detect I am using a windows and show a websiet saying it is for windows users only.

In any case, your problem is Not related to the Astaro Proxy .
Clear your Browser Cache with all Broswer closed and try again.

Else you may need to clear the contents of Windows Update Folder.

I guess you have enabled the Active X filtering on the HTTP Proxy configuration.
You should not be able to delete emails in hotmail web, because of this filter.
So it is probably the same problem occurs with Windows Update.

well it kinda fixed itself...I cleared the browser cache and restarted my box...and it fixed it..i then had an issue with the proxy not caching large objects even when told..i fixed that by reinstalling ASL and importing the settings(after changing hte max object size parameter in squid.conf-default)..

You have to set the http proxy Anonymity to none. Default is standard.
