Henrik is right but since if you really wants to use squidguard for that try
putting windowsupdate.microsoft.com into the URL file instead of DOMAINS
file. it should work.

And being a redirector, redirec is what SquidGuard can do, either by
sending a browser redirect to the browser, or by rewriting the URL
while Squid forwards the URL.

If you make SquidGuard rewrite the URL to a web page which results in
an access denied then the access will be effectively denied. However,
in the eye of Squid it is a proxied request resulting in an HTTP
error..

If you want the request to be denied directly by Squid you need to use
Squid acls in http_access. This will result in TCP_DENIED in your
Squid access log, and no dependencies on other services.
