it used to be. but they are forceing the check if you are to use Windows Update to update your system. (though auto update still works for critical) and i wouldn't call it a patch all you had to do was go to the page put this in the url bar (note not exact but you get the idea)
javascript:genuen_check=0;
basically there was a javascript variable that you could manually set via the url bar and it would disable it.
