What you should do is submit a Squid3 bug report with full debugging logs collected when the Windows Update problem is happening. Once there is enough information, Squid3 bugs are usually get fixed pretty fast. The developers that want to help you do not have enough information to fix the bug... An alternative is to file a bug report and explain exactly how to reproduce the bug for somebody who has a single Windows XP box and knows little about Windows Update.
