Not really no, you can use hfnetchk (hfnetchk pro for auto download) or MBSA for detecting and obtaining security related patches or the automatic updates system to download critical updates and install them in the background, thats the closest thing i can think of.

The client side system is built on a active x control so it is rarther browser dependent.

hmm, what about enabling Automatic Updates in the System Properties?
