well there is a site apart from autopatcher where updates are available for download. it works just like windows update but its compatible with Mozilla Firefox , Netscape , Mozilla Firebird , Opera and K-meleon.
The updates are available a while after MS releases them.Apart from the normal security updates additional updates are also available on the site.For now there is no wga check there(planning on implementing soon).This is for those users who dont want to use IE for windows update
U can checkout the site
here
If mods/admin feel its illegal they shall remove the post.But it doesnt seem illegal according to me.
