very simple.. just allow them all before the authentication acls such as in:

acl updates dstdomain .windowsupdates.microsoft.com .antivirusupdates.org
acl updates1 dst 192.168.0.1/32

http_access allow localnet updates
http_access allow localnet updates1
http_access allow localnet ntlm_auth_helper
http_access deny all
