After scanning my network and seeing security flaws I have downloaded patches
from Microsoft and installed them.

Yet, when I scan the PC again, the same security flaws are shown.

For instance:
Security Update for Windows Server 2003 32-Bit Edition (KB823980)

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.mspx

Why won't this patch fix the security hole?

I have used both Nessus and Retina scanns and see the same issue.

Is MS03-039 (KB824146, which supersedes MS03-026) installed?

What does scanning with this tool have to say about the situation?...
