If you only want to check the host you can do something like this:
someString.indexOf("http://www.windowsupdate.com/") == 0;


If you need wildcards you probably have to use regular expressions, 
maybe (depending on the expected number of rules) in conjunction with 
some algorithms to speed things up, like in Adblock Plus:
