That page appears to be the page brought up by the Nomadix wireless-access "solution" favored by the hotel industry and others. I've never seen it come up from a normal WAP, but if the wireless is your actual connection to your ISP they may be using it. My experience is that it interferes severely with any Internet access that isn't an actual browser visiting Web pages. In particular it redirects all Web access to it's own console page (and blocks all non-Web access) until you've logged in, and requires that window to handle Javascript and be open at all times to maintain Internet connectivity.
The problem here isn't in the updater, I'm afraid.
