Yeah, but there only has to be one machine in your network that is not
patched and is connected to the internet.
Take the internetconnection down, patch all machines, look for funny
processes in Taskmanager and if you find one, go to www.sophos.com to get
removaltools. They've got excellent tools for removing Blast, Welchia, Sobig
etcetera.
Boot all machines after checking that ms03-026 did install properly
(reinstall if you hesitate) and then you should be fine.
